Very bad news. At least we at the G45 forum had a chance to talk to Randy about his music before this happened.

What did he say? Would you mind to put up a link here?
Sorry to hear about Randy's passing away.
But The Green Fuz is immortal!!!
Found this picture on the 60s garagebands site. Which one is Randy? Is there any picture from around the time when he recorded Green Fuz? I'm sure he didn't look the way his voice sounded...

Unfortunately the search function doesn't work on the old forum. I looked at all the topics trying to find one that rang a bell, but no luck. I remember he just appeared out of nowhere using the name RandyAlvey. But that name is not in the member list of the old G45 forum, so maybe it was even earlier, in the days of the Psychotic Reactions forum at garagepunk.com..?

I searched the old Psychotic Reactions forum using google ("randy alvey" site:http://garagepunk.proboards.com/) and tried several work combos but didn't come up with anything interesting, just some mentions of the record.
Maybe Jeff Kopp has a backup of the database of the old Psychotic Reactions forum? It would have to be a backup from about a year before it ended, as many posts were already deleted by then.
Same with the old forum, if the old database is still around, that could be searched for text.

Gave Randy a shoutout and played "Green Fuz" on the radio show in his honor. He left behind something truly great.

Yes, it's real. Buck Houchins is my estranged father and I took it from his Facebook page. It's the only picture I've ever seen of the band from the 60s too.

A color photo of the Green Fuz exists?
Am I hallucinating this?

Thank you very much Bryan!
Could you answer some questions that have me puzzled?
Did Rudy Rendon sing on the Green Fuz record?
Is that a guitar he is holding in his right hand? and..
What are those strange lights on the floor?
