These are my favorite stories from my ”Bubble Puppy Bites” Substack series. I look back on my days as the drummer for Bubble Puppy, that wild psychedelic rock band from the ‘60s. I talk about how we first came together, what it was like living all together under one roof, and how everything changed when ”Hot Smoke and Sassafras” took off. I recall the ups and downs we experienced with our label, International Artists—issues like fighting for our royalties, dealing with album mastering headaches, and even missing out on an opportunity with Apple Records (yes, that Apple). I also share some pretty wild memories from the road, hanging out with other big bands, and how psychedelics shaped not just our music, but our lives. The whole scene back then was electric, and I try to bring all of that to life in these stories.

Ever wonder what touring was like for a band in the late sixties? I share stories from our first 1969 Midwest tour in "We Never Had a Tour Bus." We flew to gigs with all our gear, then rented station wagons and U-Hauls, which led to hilarious mix-ups, such as being mistaken for kidnapped women due to our long hair. We "green kids" faced frigid Chicago weather and strep throat. Bob Seger and Keith Emerson opened for us!
Despite our naive approach, somehow, our system "never broke down!"
