Hi David,

No answers, at least none I can put down in words in the time I have now, 
but...

I'm going to be near Boston (Reading) next Thursday and Friday, on
business. Any cool shows? Cool record, music equipment stores? I don't have
a lot of free time, unfortunately, but I'd like to make it out for at least
one evening.

together, make fire. You take some notes and rub 'em
together - dum, dum, dum, dum - fire, cosmic fire."
