- I've talked to the brother of the drummer in Cross' current band, who I think
- has been working with Cross for a couple of years now - I think one of
- these releases also has ex-Beefheart and Snakefinger sideman Eric Drew
- Feldman on keyboards. Anyway, the news was that as of a few months back
- Cross was still exploring coming for a tour of the US, probably booked thru
- the grass-roots Gong-net. I hope it happens.

- Pssst. Hey Anil, when you're done with the ferrets and the ginsu knives,
- can you give us a more detailed synopsis of what it sounds like.
-
- And Ranjit, is Low Flying Aircraft really from 1975, or is it 1985? I'd
- thought it was a band of his in the 80's that mutated into the current band.
