well I remember an album title, "carolina county ball" wasn't it?? 


Not familiar with that one.  I think the first
album was just entitled "Elf," but it was better
than 30 years ago...



 I passed
on it, I've never tolerated him well, and I also remember a Hawkwind fan
that was a customer of mine, who did reviews, had him on his answering
machine
I think that now famous hand gesture actually originated with his
Italian
mom, but I could just be wrong....

Makes sense, back in the Elf days he went by the rather
more unwieldy name Ron Padavona...
