Cisco Alder Son Of Music Legend Lou

Around 1976 the father of Cisco Adler, Lou threw a very cool showcase at The Roxy in Los Angeles. The artist was Hirth Martinez and everyone keep saying that Bob Dylan would be there so of course Buzz Foto was present. We were walking around the club with our cameras and drink in hand when some guy came over and said “thank you for coming, but by the way NO PHOTOS”. No one gave a rats ass about Hirth, but we wanted Dylan photos and he said ” yeah well Warner Bros invited us and who the hell are you”. Well one of the top ten rules in this town is to never confront someone unless you know exactly who you are speaking to. Yep, you guessed it, it was Lou Adler in the flesh. Not only was it his party, but he was also one of the owners of the Roxy! In a second, another photographer tapped us on the shoulder and said ” you are fucking nuts… that is Lou Adler “. ” Sorry Lou”. He just smiled and said ” enjoy the show and please no photos”. Oh, those were the days!
