| The Great Sebastian
AKA Jerry Landon, this whirlwind
blew into California in 1966.
|
| In 1967, Seb reigned at the 844
Page St. commune in Haight-Ashbury.
A lot of Monterey friends lived there off and on, and it was also an outpost for the group I knew in Albu- querque. Jim Popkey, John & Kathy Sheppard, Judy Enkosky and Larry Popkey, were some names that come to mind. 844 Page was my base camp for "Summer of Love" ventures to the Fillmore & Avalon ballrooms, Haight Street, "The Ave" (Telegraph Avenue across the bay in Berkeley), Golden Gate Park, and many others. |

By 1990, he'd lost his other
leg and was down to just one tooth, which he kept continuously drenched
in whiskey.
Eerie... This last photo of Sebastian was the first time my old Pentax camera malfunctioned in this way. |
