Henry Kaiser Dark Star

Henry Kaiser the person, not the auditorium!  ;D

It's only on Facebook as far as I can tell (probably not viewable if you aren't on Facebook): https://fb.watch/mKgMF7_CVM/

Andy West is on bass! Here's the text from the post by Geoff Gould:

And now for something completely different!So, last weekend, my old friend Andy West dropped by on his way to go see Henry Kaiser. They were going to do some recording together. I thought, why not loan Henry one of my guitars? He already has quite a few. I let it slip that I have this fantasy of Henry making a video using the guitar. He has quite extensive experience with videos and recording as well as special effects. Before you know it, Henry jumped in full bore. He made this entire video himself except of course for Andy West playing bass, and did all the visuals and recording and everything. There's a little something for everyone here from the sweet to the bizarre!Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Henry Kaiser and Andy West in "An Encounter With Dark Star!"

Henry is getting a great tone out of that guitar. Andy West is one of my favorite players.

Right?!! I feel very fortunate to have seen Andy West with the Dregs a year or so before the pandemic started. Oh, and I played drums behind Henry Kaiser at an Alembic Gathering - I'm not really a drummer and didn't know who he was at the time - probably a good thing!

Jonathan Levine and I went back to Henry’s home after the gathering and played a bunch of guitars.  His home was like walking into a VERY well stocked guitar store, there were guitars hanging everywhere!   A really cool guy with a lot of really cool guitars.

Bill, tgo

Bill...Was that when Henry was living in the Berkeley Hills up behind the Claremont? His studio was filled with interesting guitars, basses and recording equipment.

Dark Star is a perfect universe for Henry to enter and jam, Andy West a more than able friend and companion for the trip... good stuff.
