Subject: (exotica) Well, Geez, SOMEBODY'S gotta post: Lowe, Rugolo, etc.
M.ace and I were just talkin' about how D.E.A.D. the
list is right now! C'mon, Halloween is over and the
everyone should be outta their crypts!
So, some housecleaning items for me I've been saving
for such a rainy day...
First of all, I have procured an odd album('magine
that) with Tom Disivelt(of that great Kid Baltan space
rekkid) and a singer named Rita Reyes on Epic
Records..my needle is busted, anybody know anything
about this one?
Second, I hope to soon interview Mundell Lowe!
Background info on him would be too groovy...URLs,
too.
Lathly, is there a way to contact Pete Rugolo?
Wow, I feel better....Jane Fondle
