The House of Music!
I
A new occasional series. From the legendary Big Pink to where Captain Beefheeart 'taught' or practised the Magic Band to Elvis Presley's birthplace we are fascinated by where our heroes have lived . . . . . . . .starting with notes from John 'Drumbo' French the most consistent and brilliant of Don Van Vliet's Magic Band drummers who says:




"In late winter of 1967, Don Van Vliet, his girlfriend Laurie Stone, Jeff Cotton and I moved into this little place in Woodland Hills.  I was standing in front of the house where we later lived when Trout Mask Replica was created." 
John 'Drumbo' French
