There are times when I think about life on Morton Street in Alameda in the early 70s, Saturday nights, cheap red wine, various roommates and friends, sitting around smoking and listening to Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen singing “Down to Seeds and Stems Again Blues,” and I get all verklempt.
Now that was a band. And those were good times indeed. On Sunday Commander Cody, whose real name was George Frayne, died. Rest in peace.
