Dickie Peterson of BLUE CHEER hanging out with BILL BAKER in California 2007

www.dickiepetrson.com presents a peek of "My Friend Dickie"
....filmed and produced by Bill Baker.
You don't know Dickie. You just don't. Every day could be a new adventure. Uncle Mark gave me a new name for it, it was, that Dickie left behind him the "wake of destruction". Dickie was there they said - destruction - it had happened. I'd never seen any part of that, but to me he was someone that got to live and do what guided him. What cool situation presented itself, or....what little hippie gal came by, back on tour in 1968? Or the girl after....or....
Some day, I will edit my footage ... it was like "reality tv" without even thinking it. We could have had our own show. I can remember one morning staying with him, and he says, "Can I try your shaver".....ok, no problem. Well, it kind of freaked him out but we were laughing like crazy from the thing scaring him.....for him it was early in the morning. Me, well it was the afternoon ad I already had coffee. Yes, believe me, I cherish the little bit of time we really spent in person. Enjoy!
I miss my friend, my true friend, and I'm glad I can share these clips with you of what a great guy he was. Hanging out and relaxing and us just being us.......

I love Blue Cheer and Dickie, Duck, and Paul kept it alive for so long.. as long as they could... My hat is off to you Bill, for recognizing and rewarding Dickie for his contribution to his era of music... You have done more than anyone on this planet for Blue Cheer and Dickie..

Where did Dickie live? The house reminds me of houses I saw in San Rafael and in other places in the Bay Area and beyond. He obviously didn’t make amkillong playing music but it was great he played music his whole life and could get by. Actually, those simple, unfancy houses always seem comfy.

[@Billvis77]

He was living in Sebastopol, CA.
