Hi Oh Boy
Do you received the add and pass?

Hi, pleasure to share this space with you.
Did you know Lon Spiegelman? Still miss him after all these years. Yes I know, California is a big country... but I thought it worth the ask.

Well man, Lon sent me many cassettes back then, with him and a gang of fellows (including Dave Zack and Michael Mollet) chatting or should that be bullshitting? Are you on any of them? I also have one of Lon at Judith Hoffberg's house when she comes in and rips into him cos they are all smoking in the house. Lon was a great contact, as I said I still miss him. Lon can be heard on Mail-art dada skank the song on my page on this IUOMA site, he is the one saying "I'm just beating on the bathroom floor"

I'll pull out the cassettes and trace that one then make a copy on CD for you.

The piece I mentioned is on Ringade one of the programmes of the VEC AUDIO EXCHANGE project. I am sending you the audio DVD 'Hear What You Think' which has all 16 of the programmes on it, please let me know when it arrives.

Thanks.
It's 16 and a half hours of audio! Suggest you go straight to Ringade.
greets
