Here's the Frog's great 1972 original recording:
James Klinglehoffer RIP and Donny Perrino RIP
Here's a note I got from Jim Melka on 4/29/12:
The name "Duke Tumatoe" came from a large beach towel that had a package of TOMATO SEEDS printed on it, and John Wayne's nickname. That I'm pretty sure of. I used to "hang out" the towel at gigs, across the front of Bill/Duke's amp hardcase.
Enjoy A S F's vision of Johnny B Goode:
Roadies Alan Lawler and Lloyde Dees
