An equipment case for "Eric Clapton group" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Many of Clapton's band members at one time were based in Tulsa. Of course, I liked the number.
RAW fans, can you name the pop/rock star who advised his fans, "Find out all you can about Buckminster Fuller."
That would be Leon Russell. I am in Tulsa this week, visiting relatives, so I visited the restored Church Studio that Russell owned.
Russell is not well remembered now, but he had a huge career, as this Wikipedia article explains.

To anyone interested in Leon Russell, I would recommend checking out the 1974 Les Blank documentary A Poem Is A Naked Person. It has a nice sweaty, hot summer vibe to it, so now's the perfect time of the year to give it a go, if you're on the northern hemisphere that is.
The rock film Mad Dogs and Englishmen excellently documents Russell at the height of his musical powers. Earlier in his career he served as Frank Sinatra's piano player.
I watched "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" in a movie theater in Tulsa when it came out. I do plan to chase both of these down, thank you Oz and Spookah.
