A legend in his own mind a rumor in his own time.<BR/><BR/>Revamped and boogie-ing, came Duke Tomatoe and the Power Trio.<BR/><BR/>His brush with fame came w/ Sam Kinnison who took Duke's "I wanna tie you up" national.<BR/><BR/>Corky Seigal! A Chicago treasure. Still kickin' it out.<BR/>My Siegal Schwall anecdotes involve the Kinetic Underground (cum Playground)and the Aragon Ballroom.<BR/><BR/>But the universe is circular. FF fifteen years and Diamond T is playing Catfish Days in Wilmington.<BR/>A guy approached the sound board and asked if the band liked "jamming". I asked politely if he could play. He said "no, not me! Jim Schwall from Siegal/Schwall."<BR/><BR/>I got all excited and arranged things. The guy walked over and PEELED Jim Schwall off a barstool.<BR/>Walked him to the stage, plugged him in, hung the guitar around his neck, lit a cigarette and stuck it in his mouth. That must have been the ON switch. For the next twenty minutes Schwall wailed. Ripped the place to shreds.<BR/><BR/>That night our lead player quit. Wanted to BURN his guitar. Fuckin' unconscious, he got owned.Rehctawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995444077162800445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286024989073514983.post-6752198522693225822008-06-24T18:57:00.000-05:002008-06-24T18:57:00.000-05:00Dude's Nudist Baby is young enuff to be his daught...Dude's Nudist Baby is young enuff to be his daughter, or grand daughter!!
