Notes and References

"And then there was April 20, 1977, when the Powdermilk Biscuit Band and I played Rochester Community College. A big crowd and the makeshift stage got moved back 20 feet to make room for more folding chairs. When the lights dimmed, I ran and leaped onto the stage, unaware that it had been moved under a low concrete overhang. I leaped headfirst into solid concrete and landed on my hands and knees, jumped up and said, “I’m happy to be here!” and got a huge laugh and applause. They thought it was a wonderful trick. How often do you get to see a tall man in a white suit jump directly into concrete? We did the show and gradually my head cleared. That’s show business in a nutshell: you bang your head against the ceiling and life goes on. Thanks for listening"
