Peter Boyle

This is the second Peter Boyle blog today...I
accidently deleted that first one.
Peter Boyle was responsible for Cheech and Chong. I
was Chicago playing guitar in a Motown group called
Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers. we were playing at
the famous Regal Theatre along with Jerry Butler and
an unknown opening act called The Jacksons later to be
known as the Jackson Five. We palayed there for a week
so we had some down time to check out the bluse club.
I wandered into a club called The Second City and
experienced a night that would change my life forever.
I was introduced to improvisational theatre. It was a
stlye of theatre where the actors riffed like jazz
musicans making things up as they acted with each
other. Peter Boyle was one of the stars of that show.
He was the funniest actor I had ever seen in my life.
The origional cast of Second City were incredible.
They were the most talented group ever in the history
of Second City and Peter Boyle was one of the
standouts in the field of both comedy and serious
acting. i am honored to have worked with him in
Yellowbeard where he took Cheech and I under his wing
and showed us where to go and what to do on location.
Peter was a very caring and giving person and I will
remember his kindness and talent forever....tc
