I had the opportunity to meet Baron Wolman several times, have lunch and dinner with him and give him a ride. I saw a lot of pictures of Hendrix and many more, some of them unreleased yet. It's a trip as you see the pictures while listening the stories behind them.
He gave us three pictures of Nicky Hopkins for our website, and as a gift he gave my little daughter an original og Frank Zappa in his Laurel Canyon house. |

A funny anecdote was when we got lost in Mexico City when I took him to his hotel, I made a mistake and told him "A fuck up on my part" so we need to ride five minutes to solve it, but those minutes were in a very nice zone, so he told me it was good you made that fuck up; when we arrived to his hotel room, he took a book of postal cards and signed it with this note: "To Gerardo Rock the world, your friend Baron Wolman - THE LUCKY FUCK UP"
This is Baron Wolman and me after some drinks before a show.

this is a great pic of "The Weave Brothers" in action
Keith really should stop dying his hair and let it go back to gray. He looks bad ass. And even more pirate like.
Ronnie can keep the wig as is.
