The album cover brought back a memory. My friends were in a band and after seeing CSNY at the Fillmore they wanted to learn and play their songs. We spent a day together at one of their cabins in the Santa Cruz mountains while they worked on and played their songs. Then we decided we had to take a picture for the album cover. If I am successful attaching it I’m the one sitting on the rail on the right, holding either a cat or a puppy. I can’t remember everything from that time, after all.

great picture! I'm still kicking myself that in 1969 (still, I'm afraid, the best year of my life) I didn't carry around a camera.

I DID have one friend who was an excellent photographer...wish me luck in posting this....

...and I seem to have failed insofar as it's not a link.

if anyone manages to actually VIEW this, there's an exchange I usually have when people see it. they ask "and who the fuck is this?" and I answer "oh that's just my dead rockstar cousin?"

Unfortunately I can’t open it David. I’m so disappointed. I really wanted to see your dead rockstar cousin.

and now I'm deeply motivated to find someone who knows how to post the actual picture in an actual Substack post. it's among the photos on my FB page if you wanna go into THOSE particular weeds...they're open to the world.

and now that I think about it, in a metaphorical sense, it sorta IS "my dead rockstar cousin" since 1970 really WAS a completely other world.

I once showed the picture to the psychiatrist in a Crisis Unit I was working in, c.1990. the first thing he noted was how dilated my pupils were. he said I looked like I was "on" something with some kind of smug "diagnostic" look on his face. "aha!" I replied, "the trained eye of the skilled clinician!"

you can probably tell I didn't much care for him, on account of he was more of a trained clinician yutz.

I had some dilated eyes in those days too.😹 so this is what I do to post pictures on here: I save the photo to google drive then share and pick copy link then paste the link on the comment. Then you have to allow access to anyone with the link. Clear as mud right? I basically fumbled and stumbled on to it. I had tried several other ways and this one worked.

But not sure about Facebook photos. I’m not on Facebook. These are either photos I’ve taken or old photos I have downloaded to my phone.

You were successful and looking good, Karen, but cannot tell if you're holding a kitty or puppy.

Well not that successful. The album never happened, but much fun was had!
