Been working a lot with Jimmi Seiter recently; restoring his Byrds pics for his
upcoming website and book. I try not to bug him too much as he's so busy at the
moment...obviously, I/we could pic his brain for months...it's been fascinating
listening to him tell a few stories though, and when he gets going, I kind of
just let him talk!
He told me the entire story of how he hooked up with band in the first place (I
won't spill any beans obviously out of respect to Jimmi, but Dobie Gray & The
Grass Roots are a big part of the story), and I actually found it quite
amusing...music biz, you know.
All this will be in is new e-Book, and he's planning on making the photos
available for download/purchase from his website....some amazing and rare never
before seen stuff!
One shot, is Chris & Roger on board a Boeing 707, YTY era, Chris smoking a
cigarette (When you could do that!!), looking directly into Jimmi's camera, and
Roger leaning over to him in conversation...classic '67 upholstery on the
passenger seats...another is Chris on a motel balcony in Spokane, WA holding a
rifle (Aiming it at Jimmi), on tour with the Jefferson Airplane.
Crosby snoozing on the same 707, more pics from the famous "Roger & Chris in the
photo booth at the amusement park" sessions from 1966...there's one of Clarence
that is really funny too; again, on an airliner, he holding a magazine up to his
face, covering his own face with a photo of a pig on the cover, human size, LOL.
I can't think of a swine that plays better guitar, can you?!
Another of Michael & Chris on stage, 1966, in a really cool dark-lit shot...like
Outer Limits or Twilight Zone or something.
The guys in Greenwich Village (1967); Crosby smoking a joint, Michael looking
away...you guys have seen shots from this session...very well known.
Also, some shots from Monterey...Jimmi & Croz standing together, Croz with
Mickey Dolenz, and David rehearsing with Buffalo Springfield...day time shots!
Recently, he sent me all four official "Head shots" from about...oh...May
'66...these would be the first "Official" shots after Gene's departure. You guys
will recognise the one of Roger...very famous pic, often miss labeled as "1965".
Anyway, I just finished tidying these up the other day.
I know I'm really looking forward to the book, as I'm sure all of us here are.
Very sorry and sad to hear about the passing of Doug Dillard & Doc Watson.
Best, Christian
