Hey Rich,

That's really interesting. There are two entries for Live Oak Theater in 1972.
Which date was the performance you mention? It should be amended "Basho did not
actually play..." It might be nice to add what you wrote below, too. I should
also add the two or three concert reviews I came across. One of them was
particularly negative, saying something like "nowhere near as good as that Fahey
chap we had last week"!

(So few people showed up, that Robbie threw a fit and wouldn't perform. So my
20-30 minutes was the concert. The tiny crowd adjourned to the home of one of
his friends, where he walked around totally spaced out because he had built up
this huge energy which he didn't then release into performance!)

Stanford. This was somewhere in the 1974-76 time frame (memory is hazy because
so much else was going on my life at the time). If we ever find out when a
friend of his engineered a birthday visit from Alan Hovhaness, that might narrow
down the time-frame, because the memory was very fresh and on his mind, later
that evening after the concert.
