this is actually a fun day out and everyone is welcome. it happens at the trotwood every friday i think
its 1-2 . all old geezers with their toys making a really horrible racket which occasionally coalesces into
something that actually sounds good. at which point ben watson will tell them to stop being musical
and it all falls apart....

sugarlips is a great saxophonist. peter baxter and graham davis are good fun. dave black has written lurid histories of LSD and the psyhedelic underground. good bunch.

Alvin Lucier is no longer sitting in a room.

Nothing to do with COVID, though.

normally yogurt does the trick, but that would be kind of weird on your dick.
