He came over to me in a little bar where we had gathered to enjoy the band "The Satillites", (now Georgia Satillites)We became good friends. You are right-He was broke- He left owing me $100.00- and even though I didn't care about it- He did. and He called me from Europe to apologize. He was doing alot of cocaine.(Thats what the hundred was for) and I did not care for the people that were around him in his Atlanta residence, I think a studio set up for him. I used to know which but I forget. At the time- I really did not know who he was, as I was raised in South American jungle- until He told me he sang "It's all to beautiful" Music was all we had down there. and the british groups, and Motown was IT! I think he liked that I did not know who he was.(I did see Humble pie in Jacksonville, Fla- Headlining for Three Dog night.years ago-way before) But we all went to some concert and everyone was looking at him. Steve , Rick Richards, and I had a nice evening talking at the residence, and being silly goofing around with a piano.I remembered I played "Swans on the Lake" Johnsons First Book- Piano, I learned when I was 10 years old. Good memories. I miss him so much.He deserved so much more. My heart goes out to his family. I am sorry that he and his wife were fighting before the fire happened. and to his son- whom I met. He loved them all so much. Sorry I am going on. I just googled him and it brought back good memories. I am 64 this month- and I would give alot to see him again. He is in a happier place now. I will look for him there someday.

As soon as we sat down he turned to me and said "I could do a line that long", as he pointed to the 1st Base line frome home plate to the outfield. I believe he could too.

Never in my life did I here a lead singers voice like Steve Marriot. Him and Frampton trading licks with there stacks of Marshalls sounded great. People were up and dancing. Hanging off the balcony's. That was a great night.
