With Tim O'Brien at Frutigen Singer- Songwriter Festival

 Frutigen was one of the first towns in Switzerland to organize their own Festival. Christian (Chrigel) Riesen is sitting in on rhythm guitar on the left. He was my first manager and let me and countless other musicians I played with stay in his house which had a HUGE basement, or "bunker" as they call it. I remember countless times when he'd burst in and say "Get in the car, I have a gig!" When we asked him where it was, he'd say: "Somewhere". Then he would drive us "somewhere", unpack us and his sound system, introduce us to the owner, take off and pick us up again in two or three weeks. He hardly ever took any money. Thanks, Chrigs.
