A fair amount about Mr. Dickerson in a book I mentioned earlier, Geoffrey
Stokes' STAR-MAKING MACHINERY, the story of a Commander Cody album from
start to finish.

I'm sorry to hear about this, Gil.  What are the details?  Do we want to
know?

My friend Frank died in his sleep two Fridays ago, and my friend Steve
died of cancer last Monday.

"Lastly, thanks to my dad. Although he initially disapproved of the band,
when the record was released he took it to the main building of his
company, Metropolitan Life Insurance, in New York. He tapped into the
skyscraper's sound system and played the double album non-stop throughout
the entire work day."

- --Glenn Phillips of the Hampton Grease Band, from his history of the band
at http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/glennphillips/hamptongreaseband.html . 
The Hampton Grease Band's one and only album, MUSIC TO EAT, was reissued
on CD several years ago, and should be owned by everyone, but may now be
out of print a second time.
