DATS RITE! "ELIAS DRUMMER" HERE. HOW Y'ALL DOIN?MANY OF YOU "OLD TIMERS"KNOW ME AS I JOINED IN L.A. '71THEN WENT TO COACHELLA THEN "CARAVANED" TO CRAGSMOOR CABIN/ELLENVILLE/NYC W/BEN DAVIDSON+JAZIZ HARPER ETC. WHAT A "LONG STRANGE TRIP" THAT WAS! ALWAYS INTERESTING AND EXCITING! THAT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING THOUGH. NUFF SAID. I ONLY FOUND THIS WEBSITE RECENTLY AS I NEVER REALLY RESEARCHED THE C.O.G. AFTER I LEFT MEXICO CITY IN '78. I SAW THE "WRITING ON THE WALL" BACK THEN AND JUST BAILED WITH THE ADVENT OF "FLIRTY FISHING". THAT AND WEAK LEADERSHIP DROVE ME AWAY. THANK GOD! I DID READ LINDA (BERG) DAVIS' BOOK BACK IN '96 WHEN I MOVED BACK HERE TO CALI AND IT CONFIRMED WHAT I SUSPECTED ALL ALONG. "MOSES" DAVID BERG WAS A SICK SEX CRAZED PEDOPHILE PERVERT!! YIKES! I JUST HAD NO IDEA THE DEPTHS OF DEPRAVITY HE HAD SUNK TO. AGAIN I THANK GOD I GOT OUT WHEN I DID! IT WAS VERY HARD TO LEAVE BECAUSE I TRULY LOVED MY "BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE LORD" AND BEING IN A HIGH PROFILE BAND DOING CONCERTS AND TV SHOWS AND GAINING "CONVERTS" ETC. ETC. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY FOR ME TO REALLY DELVE INTO THE "FLIRTY FISHING" AND I DID DABBLE IN IT A BIT BUT IT JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF SEXUAL ADVANCES FROM CERTAIN FEMALE "LEADERS" WHICH I FOUND VERY DISTURBING! SHORTLY AFTER FAITH BERG VISITED US AND GAVE ME A "PEP TALK" I PACKED MY BACKPACK AND GUITAR AND HOPPED THE NEXT TRAIN TO NUEVO LAREDO+CROSSED THE BORDER TO HITCH RIDES BACK HOME TO CAPE COD MA.(STILL WITNESSING ALL THE WAY! JUST NOT FOR THE C.O.G.). JUST FOR JESUS! AMEN. I NEVER GOT BACK INTO FULL TIME PREACHING AGAIN AS I FELT I HAD DONE ENOUGH ALREADY. SOME MAY FIND FAULT WITH ME FOR THIS BUT I REALLY DONT CARE. WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME! AFTER REJOINING THE "REAL WORLD" I'VE HONED A NUMBER OF SKILLS THAT HAVE ALLOWED ME TO MAKE A DECENT LIVING IN "THE SYSTEM" OVER MANY YEARS. MY DRUMMING AND GUITAR PLAYING HAVE VASTLY IMPROVED (ALTHOUGH MY VOICE HAS LOST A LITTLE RANGE!) AND I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO JAM WITH A LOT OF VERY ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS WHO HAVE GREAT HEARTS. I ENJOYED MY LIMITED TIME W/JEREMY SPENCER "BACK IN THE DAY" BUT WISH HE GOT THE HELL OUT WHEN I DID. SO SAD. I SAW A RECENT PHOTO OF HIM. YIKES! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THE PEDOPHILIA ACCUSATIONS AND REALLY DONT CARE. AT LEAST I'VE STILL GOT ALL MY OWN HAIR W/VERY LITTLE GRAY AND@6'1 170 LBS. NOT DOIN TOO BAD FOR ALMOST 62! HAHAHA!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HOPE TO SEE SOME POSTINGS HERE FROM ANY OLD FRIENDS.JAZIZ HARPER ANYONE? LOVED THAT GUY! BEN DAVIDSON? (RICHARD LABRIL). HOPE THEY'RE ALIVE AND WELL. GOTTA GET SOME REST. PLAYIN GOLF MANANA!
