I remember meeting drummer John Halsey, of Patto and the Rutles, at the world famous Rutles secret three song reunion concert at the Pig and Whistle in Hollywood. Told him a pal had given me a one of a kind Patto tee shirt. Which is true, the first album cover emblazoned on a tee shirt about five sizes too small. John looked at me, sighed, and said why? One of my favorite rock’n’roll memories.

John Halsey, Rikki Fataar, Neil Innes and Eric Idle not long before I told John Halsey about the tee shirt.
