Chuck E. Weiss is the other performer I found on my Tim Weisberg negs. I knew Chuck pretty well back in the day. He was best pals with Tom Waits and was a regular (as was I) at the Troubadour and the Tropicana (home the famous Duke's) where I'm sure we ate breakfast together more times than I can remember.You probably only know Chuck E. Weiss from this...
I really just wanted to run a live performance of Chuck E's In Love but the best one was embedding disabled. Then there was this one which is pretty much unrecognizable. I'm wondering if this is from the show I saw her at a couple of years ago at the theater on Wilshire and Orlando. Worst. Show. Ever. I swear she was high as a kite. Or drunk. Either way she couldn't sing. Sad. Anyway, check it out and you will realize why I had to post the recorded version above...
But Chuck E. Weiss is a talent in his own right as proven by this very cool video from Art Fein's show...
One other photo on the Weisberg roll was of this guy who used to ply me with alcohol...
I can't for the life of me remember his name. I have a Facebook friend who used to work at the Troub. Maybe I can get him to stop by and I.D. my bartender.
