bdp24, I can't imagine having two such encounters with Brian Wilson. Man, that is so sad. I've heard him in interviews where he seemed somewhat comfortable, somewhat lucid.
And, no, I never heard Paul Skelton unless he happened to be with Cornell Hurd when I caught his band. You know, Austin is a great place to catch live music and to show what you can do but it doesn't pay well here. Maybe it's the same everywhere, I don't know. At least we don't pay to play--that seemed to be catching on in LA when I was there in '88. At any rate, I make a living teaching and play more or less for fun.
