Eddy Joe Cotton - Zebu Recchia

b 1972

Eddy was the main barker for the Yard Dogs vaudeville troupe. The Yard Dogs
were a group of free spirits that started out in San Francisco as a small jug
band and became a full-blown tour group with burlesque dancers,
jugglers, fire eaters, a sword swallower, and an assortment of musical
characters. It's difficult to describe the goings on, however it was a very
entertaining show with over a dozen cast members, numerous costume
changes, and a variety of musical scores that ranged from campfire
gypsy through blues, jazz, and rock.

According to Eddy's 2002 book "HOBO" published by Harmony Books,
Eddy's mother left him behind at age two with his Harley riding hippie father.
At age nineteen, Eddy had enough and hit the road. Eddy lived out on the road
and roamed around the Western states riding freight trains for about ten years.
