Today at my Ginchy Stuff store and museum I had some time to reminisce about all the history I have inside these walls. I was looking at ways to add on to my current displays and laid out some items that I am planning on doing a new display case. The items were a Woodstock t-shirt autographed by Henry Diltz, a copy of the Woodstock Magazine from 1969 signed by Henry Diltz and a set of four photographs given to me by Henry Diltz. Let me refresh your memory banks about Henry Diltz … he was the official photographer at Woodstock in 1969, and at the Monterey Pop Festival as well as the Miami Pop Festival and has photographed over 200 record album covers … one of which was the famous Morrison Hotel album of the Doors. Henry photographed many rising stars who were drawn to the Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles in the 1960’s. Henry began as a Folk Musician before becoming a famous photographer and was a Member of the Modern Folk Quartet. He met the Monkees and played on some of their recording sessions. He hung around musicians like Stephen Stills, Dan Fogelberg, Jimmy Webb, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and the Mamas and the Papas. A few years ago, I spent a few days with Mr. Diltz and he walked through my music memory museum and talked about a lot of the photos I have in my memory museum. As we walked around talking about many of the artists that I have memorabilia of he spotted a photograph that I have of Jimi Hendrix talking with Mama Cass Elliott and Michelle Phillips. Henry asked me where I got them, and I told him that I bought them at a Rock and Roll Collectors Fair. He said to me ” I took those pictures” … it blew me away. The next day Henry came back to do an interview with me at Ginchy Stuff and he presented me with not only originals of the two photos but two more that made up the whole series. You’ll have to come down to the museum to get the whole story about what Jimmie and the girls were talking about. Talking with Henry Diltz is like reading a book of Rock and Roll History from the 60’s and 70’s and the stories he has about those fun days is incredible. If you happen to stop by my Ginchy Stuff Museum, make sure to remind me to play the interview video I did with Henry Diltz. Henry Diltz … what a National Treasure!
