If you have any connection to the San Francisco Bay Area music scene, Beserkley Records, Rather Ripped Records, KSAN, etc. during the 60s, 70s and 80s, you've probably heard of or met Gary Phillips, a.k.a. Gary Philippet.

Or you may have known Gary from Spokane or
Penrith Farms in Newport, Washington.

I'm EXTREMELY grateful to Mike Somavilla (creator of "Keeper of the Flame Music News") for hanging onto the Bay Area's (and beyond) music history (esp. John Cipollina and Terry & The Pirates), and for sending these great pics and scans for use on this site in Gary's memory:

There was a dumpster across from Beserkely on Eunice that someone (presumably Ron) had painted his name on. Gary, ever the producer, made it a hit. Dennis Kernohan took the pix with Gary's new Olympus, 1975.
