I (now 64) first saw Love at the Bido in 1966. I went to Viet Nam in '68 and made a "Love Light", light box in an aircraft maintenance shack. In May 2002 I took my kids to see Arthur at the Knitting Factory-Hollywood and brought my \"Love Light\" and hooked it up on stage. Arthur saw it, liked it and SIGNED it. Not only is it the ONLY \"Love Light\" in existence, that I know of, but the only signed one, at least to Arthur\'s knowledge. No, it is definitely not for sale.

Two years after I came back from Nam, "Snoopy" was playing at the "Spigot" in Santa Barbara and needed a percussionist for a song. I volunteered and played. That was the closest I ever got to playing with LOVE. Last fast story. I ( a member of the short-lived new "Dartells“ [of \"Hot Pastrami" fame], as we disbanded when our leader, original member and founder Dick Burns died 2 days after we finished the new album, "Mo' Pastrami" ) do a lot of Karaoke and I have an Out-take CD that contains the \"7 and 7 Is\" instrumental, which is perfect for doing the song in Karaoke. Finally, if I wore a hat, it would be off to "Start" Productions for the LOVE documentary.

Anyway, I was doing my usual night shift and I dropped in to say hi to my friends in the rock band Badlands who were practicing at Mates rehearsal studio in North Hollywood. It was in the early 90s. They were arguing so I went into the office to wait it out. When I walked in, there was a guy kicked back in a chair sitting there all by himself. Short hair, jeans, and a t-shirt-very unassuming. I didn’t pay much attention cause I was looking for Bobby the owner. But this stranger says, Hey, how’s it going man? I looked down at him, and he just seemed like the nicest guy-I said something like, Yeah, just workin tonight and taking a break. He goes, I’m Arthur man, what’s your name? I s
