Ike Takes Back River Deep Mountain High

i also was one of the folks who helped introduce Herbie, Wayne and Tina to Buddhism. i practiced for approximately 12 years. interesting that Herbie and Wayne are still going "gung-ho" but i essentially stopped practicing in the early '80s!! in Tina's autobio, which freelancer refers to, she writes about all of that.

That's interesting - in various interviews as well as the foreword to "The Buddha In Your Mirror" Herbie says that he was first introduced to buddhism in 1972 through Buster Williams. Do you know when and why Herbie joined SGI?

yes, Buster was definitely the main person who encouraged Herbie to practice. Herbie first heard about the practice from me. that was earlier in the '70s. as i wrote, "I was one of the folks . . . " i don't know exactly when Herbie joined the organization but it was around '72 and i certainly couldn't comment on the "why" except that he must have thought it would enhance his life.

Another live version from 1971, subtly different tempo, etc.

Here's London, 1966, still in Bb, choreography more or less the same, but the tempo's faster. Ike's takeover was not yet complete.

Maybe he kept hoping they could get a hit with a live version?

This is what happens when you let Irrelevancy in the door wearing a mane tag that says "Classic".

I take that much from Buddhism and run with it.

And a lower key to illustrate what had been said earlier in the thread.

as you probably already know, the blonde was Ike's "new woman" after he was released from prison and he hoped to make her into a "new Tina". saw this group in person in Oakland. first time i had seen Ike in a very long time. the group was not destined for success. he also had his son, Ronnie, playing in the group.
