If You See Her, Say Hello [Live 1976]- Elston Gunn from fishtruckthatloads on Vimeo.

If you see her, say hello
She might be in North Saigon
She left here in a hurry
I don't know what she was on
You might say that I'm in disarray
And for me time's standing still
Oh, I've never gotten over her
I don't think I ever will

A bright light from me, I saw
A shattering of souls
Just one of them reckless situations
Which nobody controls
Well the menagerie of life rolls by
Right before my eyes
And we'll do the best we can
Which should come at no surprise

If you're makin' love to her
Watch it from the rear
You never know when I'll be back
Or liable to appear
Oh it's as natural to dream of peace
As it is for rules to break
But right now I got not much to lose
So you better stay awake

Sundown, silver moon
Hitting on the date (days?)
My head can't understand no more
What my heart don't tolerate
But I know she'll be back some day
Of that there is no doubt
And when that moment comes, Lord
Give me the strength to keep her out.

Do You Read Me ? Rory Gallagher

Live in San Francisco 1965

Taken in the alley behind City Lights bookstore in December of 1965.  The alley has since been renamed Jack Kerouac Alley. Allen Ginsberg, who my friend and fellow photographer Larry Kennan and I had visited and photographed several times, had some of the photos we had made of him propped up on the mantel above the fireplace of his Fell Street Flat.  When Bob Dylan visited Ginsberg, he saw the photographs Larry and I had made and said he would like Larry and me to photograph Allen, McClure and him together.  Allen set up the shoot on the day following Dylan's concert at the Berkeley Community Theater.  We had about ten minutes with Dylan.  At first we were the only ones in the alley.  But as soon as people realized it was Bob Dylan, a crowd began to form.  A man took out a camera and began taking photographs.  Allen admonished him and asked him to stop.  "This is these guys' gig," he told him pointing to Larry and me, "not yours."
