Hi Brian, Love Dead Flowers. My friend Ronald taught me the tune when I picked up a guitar. Ronald sang and played with soul and personality. He served us in Vietnam. I was blessed to be his friend. Love you Ronald : )

Do Bandcamp still do that last Friday of the month thing?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07am
Brian D:

First Friday, but yes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:08am
Brian in UK:

Oh yes, Mick Rock did this album cover?
  4:10am
morphe':

So amazing, I was thinking of this song the other day remembering the melody but could remember any lyric. Was thinking it was Bowie, but then thinking just sounded like Bowie and I literally just tuned in ..Serendipity.. Thanks BD !!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:11am
Paulo AD:

Man, what a tune. I love Bowie
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:11am
Brian D:

Mick helped Bowie with the Ziggy persona, but he didn't do the cover for that record. He did do Aladdin Sane, however.
Avatar 4:16am
DktrFaustus:

I was just listening to Aladdin Sane. Phenomenal album!
Avatar 4:18am
DktrFaustus:

I think Mick Rock shot the cover of Bowie's eponymous 1969 album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:20am
Brian D:

Thanks Dktr. He also did Pin Ups. Gotta do my research before I speak.
Avatar 4:21am
DktrFaustus:

Cheers! Loving the music.

Brian in UK:

Brian D this is freeform & why we love this station.
  4:23am
miles:

the only thing I've learned from a quick Google is that Rock shot 2 pix featured on the back of Bowie's Pin Ups LP
  4:23am
miles:

did NOT do the front cover of Pin Ups
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:25am
Brian D:

Then Wikipedia has it wrong, @miles.
Avatar 4:27am
DktrFaustus:

His obit in The Guardian says he did the cover for Pinups.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27am
Brian D:

Here is a complete-ish list: ononeonlinesblog.wordpress.com...
  4:28am
miles:

"The cover photo for Pin Ups reflected the theme of swinging London by featuring 1960s supermodel Twiggy, who had previously been name-checked on Aladdin Sane's "Drive-In Saturday" as "Twig the Wonder Kid". The photo was taken midway through the sessions at a Paris studio by her then-manager and partner Justin de Villeneuve"

Correct @Miles. He did the BACK cover of Pin Ups.
