[78-L] My Name Is Larry (was Shootin' Barr)

[David Lennick]

Ah, good old pre-Warners Rhino. Records in plain brown wrappers. Records which 
included a barf bag. Records shaped like a turtle, a fish, a Jewish star. 
Wonderful stuff. They let me go through their warehouse and pull anything I 
wanted since I was a Canuckistan broadcaster and they had next to no presence 
in Canada.

We heard this strange chant - "My Name Is Lar---reeee!" from a distance. This disheveled character was sitting against a brick building with his feet outstretched singing this song, over and over again. When Harold Bronson and Richard Foos of the Rhino Record Shop discovered him, it was probably the most inauspicious start of any record label.
