Re: [Pen-l] Wildman Larry Fischer

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Again, I don't recall him singing.  He would just make interesting rhythms 
by making fart sounds with his armpits, slapping himself, & strange sounds 
with his voice.  He called himself the human juke box.  I never saw the 
manic depressive paranoid schizophrenic pictured in the documentary.  
Judging be the timeline in the film, he must have recently escaped from the 
mental institution when I knew him.
