Hoyt Axton, Part 2
Another encounter with Hoyt Axton — second-hand — .was when a friend of mine, a journalist at the time, met H.A. at NBC Studios when Hoyt was leaving after an appearance on Johnny Carson. My buddy told him that in our college days we saw him play in those little clubs mentioned in an earlier post. He gave my friend a gi-mongous "Hoyt Axton" brass belt-buckle, and signed a couple of his albums (vinyls - remember those?) to give to me. I still have them.
Playing 6 Degrees of Separation,
1 I went to Long Beach State U, also known as Surfer Tech
2 Via another route, I'm 2nd degree to Joan: the same journalist friend was a friend of Ms. Baez
3 Via a different route, I'm 2nd degree to John Denver: another friend was JD's personal security guard when JD did his Lake Tahoe ski tournaments; my friend's wife baby-sat the wee little Denvers.
