Looking at the entry for B. Bumble and The Stingers, I'm wondering where the author got his information. Firstly, the only Kim Fowley involvement was that he wrote 'Nut Rocker' and had nothing to do with forming the group (the group was created by Ernie Freeman). Secondly, Lincoln Mayorga was NOT the pianist on 'Nut Rocker', it was my friend Al Hazan - his one and only contribution (Ernie played on most of the records they released).
