Cool rock n roll photos

@EdwardofHuncote

I remember that. :)

Barbara is 87 now, and still working. Sadly, she is the sole surviving cast member from IDoJ, since the passing of co-star Bill Daily earlier this year at the age of 91. I believe he and Barbara were pretty close... a lot of people never realized he was an accomplished jazz bassist, and though the actor gig worked out much better, he continued to play his bass right up to the end. It would often be used as a prop on the show.

There's a book out there that I found in a used bin somewhere called "Legends of Punk: Photos from the Vault" by Rikki Ercoli, a guy who as a kid in the late 70s / early 80s Philadelphia punk scene shot a ton of photos of bands that were, or soon would be famous. The photos are all copyrighted, of course, so I am having trouble finding some of the best ones online, but if you see a copy of the book it's worth picking up.
