Conner at McClure's
San Francisco 1965
For almost a year, I went to Michael McClure's house in the Haight every Saturday. Michael would make calls from his kitchen to his Beat friends to see who was home and if we could stop by and take photos. Bruce Conner, a childhood buddy of Michael's was there on some of the Saturdays to hang out and then go around with us. Bruce sometimes would eat an entire jar of peanut butter and go on peanut butter high. We had to scrape him off the ceiling before we could leave McClure's place. Bruce was a very hyper cat. In this photograph he is entertaining us by playing the blues with his harmonica (in the key of A). I was so impressed I went out and bought a harp in the key of A, which I still have.
