Also the trucking company Preston 151 Lines's name supposedly came from the 151 something-or-others that they had in their workspace.) is pretty hip. You can catch some of his stuff on YouTube. I saw him at the FIMAV in Victoriaville, Quebec, in 1987, in duo with his pianist partner Heiner Goebbels. I think they closed with a ballad version of "At Last I Am Free" (a Chic song also done by Robert Wyatt). Goebbels also presented his theatre/music piece "The Man in the Elevator." Great festival.Serena WmS.

KSE will be issuing a 3"-cdr of a recent trio date of his with a Korean bassist and pianist, and it's great!<br />I need to send you the new 3"-cdr, from KUSCHTY RYE ERGOT, featuring your friend and mine, John Stanton!<br />You'll love it!<br />I've been reading some of my stacks of old Charlton Comics recently, although I get a bit allergic around them as they've gotten a bit yellowed over the years...also reading the Fantagraphics KRAZY KAT anthologies, which have been remaindered for about 20-25% of the orig. cover price. George Herriman is the man IMHO...<br />Bill S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-60798937501500172452011-01-23T18:00:04.833-05:002011-01-23T18:00:04.833-05:00Wow.

Edgar Hoover was the inspiration for Waldo Weatherbee in "Archie"? If so, did Mr. Weatherbee share the same proclivities? I should dig out my cassette of a performance I did in '89 or '90, "Erwartung in Riverdale," which featured Diana Mars from the group EYK declaiming texts from "Archie" in a suitable Schoenbergian sprechstimme while I played cut-ups of Schoenberg's music and Lawrence "Chip" Swan painted expressionist portraits of Archie characters...it's a shame that there's no video! (EYK also had a piece with words from Archie, but it was really all my fault. And Diana was perturbed that I got her a subscription to the Jughead Digest, prompting her to ask "WHEN will this subscription run out!?")<br />As Malcolm X once said, "Only the mistakes are mine."Serena WmS.
