LES CLAYPOOL

(Well, I remember it as though it were a meal ago!) It’s Les Claypool, not to be confused with Bill, or Jack, or Pete, or Dennis. The Primus mastermind and the man with the most pronounced thumb calluses in rock ’n’ roll knows the value of taking time off from his insane tour schedule to enjoy the finer things, such as good vino (Purple Pachyderm is his winery) and fancy cars, like this eyecatching Sunbeam Alpine.

LES CLAYPOOL

(Well, I remember it as though it were a meal ago!) It’s Les Claypool, not to be confused with Bill, or Jack, or Pete, or Dennis. The Primus mastermind and the man with the most pronounced thumb calluses in rock ’n’ roll knows the value of taking time off from his insane tour schedule to enjoy the finer things, such as good vino (Purple Pachyderm is his winery) and fancy cars, like this eyecatching Sunbeam Alpine. Truly a wonder of nature, this blacktop predator takes the beautiful evergreen curves of Northern California with ease. Claypool is almost always on tour, so his ability to hop in the ride, relish the vistas, and oxygenate along a windy road may not happen as often as he likes. But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.
