By the way, I have a sneaking suspicion I may have already used this image years ago. If so... here it is again!

Peter in SEA:
New to the show. Really diggin’ it Tony! 🚀
Hiya, WR! Yes, the fill-in was this past Sunday. I'm hoping to have enticed a few mothership listeners to check out the Drummer stream, if they haven't already.
I second the recommendation. Giono was an organizer and publisher as well as a poet. Several fun recordings of him.

David (in London):
Burroughs did a four night stand at the Brixton Ritzy, with Giorno and Gysin, supported by Psychic TV and Cabaret Voltaire. Sadly long, long ago now. For the princely sum of a fiver, too.
still smiling 😊 since your Sunday night dead-alive neo-classical broadcast! Since back-in-the-day, 🍇 must give you mucho credít-toe for audio introductions to so many obscure & challenging to locate “neo-classical” artists (that I had only read about, if that!) over the decades. Much appreciated maestro 🎩 🪄✨ ♾️
Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
