I
was rummaging through a dusty box of photographs and came across a
bunch of old photos I'd forgotten from my biker days. At the time I was dancing with Pillow (links below) in the late
70's at the Hungry i on Broadway in North Beach. One is the only photo I have that was shot while performing the "Love Act" with her. Two are by photographer, Daniel Nicoletta (link below), one of Ben (link below) with R2-D2 and one was taken while back stage by Pillow herself.

The theme of one of the "sets" Pillow and I had for our "Love Act" was based on the Star Wars film. She was Princess Leia (buns 'n all) and I was Darth Vader (breathing heavily). Ben made his version of R2-D2 for the act with flashing lights and it moved around. The robot would be on stage as we performed the set and in the dim light it was effective.
