Yep, the PG pic is Jimmy, however it looks like due to cropping or whatnot the image was made a wee bit wider giving him a heavier appearance.

pluribus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 The photos were from the Japan tour in 1971, shot in a Geisha house. In the LZ by LZ photobook, all 4 band member photos are lined up, showing them each in kimonos with makeup and hair done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I see a strong resemblance to Mac from Always Sunny in the PG photo - LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbigrl Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) He went by the name Palu. He was VERY good friends with my mom. Not sure if his real name was Jimmy but I kno we called him Palu. I grew up right across the street from his building. My mom lived at 97 St. Marks Place till she passed away recently (in April) from the Virus. Palu was an awesome guy. Here is a picture of him and my mom talking in front of his building. I have more pictures of him.. in my mom's apt back in the day.. I havent seen him in years. Wish I knew where he was and if he is still with us.

Wish I knew where he was and if he is still with us. And two of the 3 black men pictured with Led Zeppelin on the stoop was Jimmy and Dwight. Also knew them very well. Both guys also knew Madonna as she lived around the corner on 6th St between A n B. I worked at the funhouse where she started off her career and dated John Jellybean Benitz who back then was our DJ and a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy only went by Palu for a very, very brief time - during his Hawaiian music phase. "Down By the Seaside" originally had a "Tiny Bubbles" style ukulele thing going on. We don't like to talk about it here on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little girl and he was my mom's VERY good friend. Last I saw him was when I left home and moved out of NYC and that was many years ago. My mom recently passed away from the Virus. I recently found pic's of her and him and another address for him but he doesnt live there anymore. I've been looking for him to let him kno. Do you know where I can find him? I'm sure he'd be upset. Thank you for the info. PS.. I didnt mean to post twice. Didnt kno and still dont kno how to work this site. Barbie Ferro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
