About

In the mid-sixties my college roommate and best friend, Homer Flynn, and I decided to drive to San Francisco and join the general festivities happening around the infamous hippie celebration known as the Summer of Love.

We were young people with nothing to do, like so many other baby boomers of that time. When our friends, who were artist and experimental musicians, thought to join us in San Francisco, we had the idea to form a partnership to take care of their development and needs. Those friends organized as The Residents and we organized as Residents, UNINC, the caretakers.

A few years later, that partnership and The Residents had been so successful that we joined with others to expand into The Cryptic Corporation. The Cryptic Corporation then founded Ralph Records and launched the careers of The Residents, Snakefinger, Yello, Tuxedomoon, and Renaldo & the Loaf, as well as working with artists who were already established.

After 44 years of doing this absolutely delightful job, I reached my ”golden years,” the place where younger people stack the older people, and thought it would be fun to try something different.

Here you can find informal information on some projects I am working on that have nothing to do with The Residents, as well as info on Charles Bobuck, and, later, a few other friends who will be dropping by with interesting additions.
