Bill Pietsch remembered....

Can anyone identify the above arm? It seems someone out there went and got a silhouette of the late, great, Bill Pietsch (see my September blog entry if you're unfamiliar with Bill's life), the long missed drummer of the Church Keys, and sometimes front man for Purple Wizard, permanently inked onto their flesh. I'm not much of a tattoo fan, but Bill was a close friend and I was a huge fan of his and I'd quite curious about who is attached to this thing. The pic is taken from the cover of the Purple Wizard LP.

  1. Hound, I'm pretty sure it's Dave Lindsay. Unless someone else also got the same tattoo...

  2. Really? I'll have to have a look next time I see him.
    That would make sense.

  3. Saw Sam Hopkins last night at The Lakeside, it's definitely Dave.
