[@diskochimp]

Ray & Alex? There's got to be a tape of that somewhere...!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Passable impression of Big Easy denizens lol Alex Chilton is hero and he befriends his hero Mr.Davies...very similar paths minus Dave Davies lol

[@reuireuiop0]

The song Ray slides into sounds quite promising ... where is the rest ?

[@melodymakermark]

I’m sure it was quite the thrill for Alex. He was quite the anglophile, musically speaking.

[@dandg1119]

he was with his wife between bourbon and royal, if I remember correctly. it was after a LSU Game victory so the streets were packed. it was my first time there.

Alex Chilton - was famous with "The Letter - Box Tops "- Rest in peace.

I'm only just now getting into Alex Chilton's music! I know Big Star covered a kinks song in their live set but never imagined they became friends! 😎🎸❤️

Big Star recorded "Til The End of the Day" which can be found on cd versions of Big Star's Third. Ray and Alex also recorded a version that ended up on Ray's album See My Friends.
