Wee Wee Pole
16 videos • 1,325 views • by Robert Burke Warren From late 1982 to early 1984, I played bass and co-wrote songs in Wee Wee Pole, which featured superstar-in-exile RuPaul, then 20, my best friend Todd Butler (guitar), David Klimchak (percussion), and Gina and Chrissie (background vocals, onstage repartee, dancing). I was 18 for most of that time. We played all over Georgia, and traveled to Alabama and New York City. I detail some of that time here: https://bittersoutherner.com/southern... ...and here: https://theweeklings.com/rbwarren/201... To my amazement, video of those days survives, largely thanks to Dick Richardson and James Bond of the American Music Show, but also rottingtapes, and some enterprising others who lugged bulky equipment into the clubs to capture the shows. I am deeply grateful. Please enjoy.
