A.k.a. Euclid James Sherwood Jim Sherwood Larry Fanoga
Born: 8th May 1942, Arkansas City, Kansas, USA. Died 25th December 2011. Euclid James Sherwood was an american saxophonist & vocalist, mostly associated with the bands of Frank Zappa. Sherwood gained his nickname 'Motorhead' as a teenager in gigging bands on the 'car club' circuit, tinkering with cars and custom-painting them. He met Frank Zappa in 1956 through high-school, where he attended with Bobby Zappa in Antelope Valley, California. He became a member of The Blackouts and was later part of the retinue around 'Studio Z' which had gathered as a result of Paul Buff's PAL work. Sherwood subsequently became a roadie for Zappa bands and was blessed with the pseudonym 'Larry Fanoga' on the Lumpy Gravy album, on which he was part of the chorus in The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Orchestra. Sherwood performed in early Zappa line-ups and on various FZ albums, including "Civilization Phaze III" - a revisit to the themes found in "Lumpy Gravy". He was also a member of Ruben And The Jets and then worked on projects with Don Preston and Ant-Bee. He was also a member of The Grandmothers.
