Great stuff, sir. I find I'm enjoying your own personal history accounts like this one as much, if not more, than your other fine tales. You could do a pretty fine memoir all by itself... :)
I’m also a John Anderson fan, starting with “I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal” through “Would You Catch a Falling Star” and others. Love the lines, “He had a silver-plated bus and a million country fans. Now there’s just a few of us and he drives a little van” from Falling Star. Hadn’t thought about Jimmy Carl Black in a while, but had the Mothers’ album “We’re Only in It for the Money” with him on it long ago and far away. I enjoy your writing.

Thanks, but even I don't want to read a whole book about me.
Dude can write
Another great story well told…thanks for sharing!
2nd marriages often work out better... if not only because... you learned something.
" I didn’t even need marijuana, which has always made music sound better."
I wish I could write about my first wife the way you write about yours.
Best lines from "Would You Catch A Falling Star"
"You know the crowd was rather small,
For a country music show.
So he faked a curtain call, til it was time for him to go"

I happily stole your Black & Brown Painting line “I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE, AND I BRING YOU…FREE ESTIMATES!” as a mic check for years in the 90s.
"Hi there, boys and girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black, and I'm the Indian of the group."
Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money" is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Love your run-in with Jimmy Carl story. We smoked weed with my neighbor and he was our dinner guest, very entertaining.
