Interesting to see the late Bill Pitcock IV again; he played with Dwight a few years back at Chicago's Beat Kitchen and I got to chat him up and shake his hand (Ron Flynt from 20/20 was on bass and guys from Cheap Trick and Shoes were in the audience). As for the gaydar thing, I think perhaps Phil was just spacey and/or coked-up on Bandstand.Alzonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-48703200983758774562013-04-29T22:57:28.928-04:002013-04-29T22:57:28.928-04:00I picked up an odds and ends CD comp of his stuff ...I picked up an odds and ends CD comp of his stuff in a bargain bin with his hits and other stuff including DC5's "Come Home" Ragavoy's "Stay With Me" and something from a Bee Gees tribute album ("First Mistake I Ever Made"), Harrison's "I Need You" and "Running," later an 80's chart entry for Chubby Checker. <br /><br />A dollar well-spent.

I'm a firm believer that if he had not gotten sick when he did, he would have eventually been bigger. He also had the classic backing vocals on Tom Petty's American Girl and Breakdown.<br />-BlakeSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
