Clarence talks about "Fire"
Just call me BROTHER JULIUS!

Clarence Jackson was the janitor at the ill-fated "Fire" sessions. Dubbed "Brother Julius" by Brian, he was the one that carried the bucket full of burning wood around the studio. A full interview with Clarence is coming soon! Wait until you hear what he had to do at the "water" and "air" recording sessions.



A 1966 rare photo of Clarence and Brian at the "Fire" sessions. It was at this time that Brian had the idea for Clarence to carry the bucket full of burning wood around the studio.



Clarence in 1998 at a Beach Boys concert. Unfortunately, Mike Love would NOT autograph the cover of SMiLE that Brian gave Clarence back in 1967...
