hey Taylor

if anything further happens with this, please send the advance news to
Rumori, I think everyone on this list would want to be among the first to
hear about it

Firesign = on early Over The Edge, and I've only heard about the degree to
which the KPFK shows included vaguely cut-up live mixing, far beyond the
snippets released on the 'Dear Friends' 2LP set, thanks for archiving &
can't wait to hear them
