2. Bummer

His work was epic and inspirational. I used it to inspire more than one guitarist back in the day.

8. Japanese singer "Superfly" performed with BBHC on August 15th...

There used to be a video on YouTube of her rehearsing "Piece of My Heart" with the band...all of the videos linked from the BBHC MySpace page have been removed, unfortunately.

RIP, James.

The singer Superfly, second from right, performs in place of Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company during the concert marking the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival in Bethel, N.Y.

9. That must have been why big Brother was absent from the Woodstock

Hoopla. I was at a West Fest IN Sf a couple months ago that was billed as a Woodstock event and Big Bro was not there and that is unusual....
