Don Dixon (as it says in the title) with Parthenon Huxley (AKA Rick Rock) and on drums, Rob Ladd (of Pressure Boys/Red Clay Ramblers fame)

I always thought Rob Ladd was much closer to my age (CHHS 1980) than Don Dixon’s age (I think of Don as being my neighbor’s age, Bland Simpson).

That's about right on Rob's age...but he was a bit of a prodigy. This line-up, Dixon, Parthenon Huxley/Rick Rock/Rick Miller, and Rob Ladd is cross generational for sure with Dixon and Miller coming from more Arrogance times and Ladd coming along later. This clip is from 1985 though. Huxley soon moved to California and did a lot of session work then got on with Electric Light Orchestra II.

Huxley recently wrote a memoir.
