Was Frank DeBlase really born on Christmas day or is that something the writer/photographer made up? To ease the confusion his Australian girlfriend arranged a birthday party at Skylark Lounge on Boxing Day. Skylark is an Ed Repard museum and the bartender looked like a cross between Hermie and Casey. Even “Psychedelic George,” who used to come see the band but is someone we thought disappeared some thirty years ago was there. It was a joy to watch Frank hold court like American royalty.

Wow, George was there? That’s crazy. Remember those obscene bell bottom pants he always wore? I forgot about that guy. Glad he’s alive.
Yes, it was George… or “Jiroz” I think someone called him. Still crazy after all these years.
