Greetings Rattlers. So David Kipling feels lonely in BC Canada? Hell man, if you've got broadband, Amazon, Pay Pal and all the other accoutrements of western...
This is an article I came across by a British writer who refers to our favorite groups as the "Cambridge Scene". It's a good article, but I don't agree that...
... Heh heh. Yes, I know! Sorry. The question we really SHOULD be asking now is, why, somewhere along the timeline, did one of the notes in the Nan True's Hole...
Terry: Thanks for this post. It puts a good perspective on it for those fortunate enough to live somewhere where there *are* telecommunications blessings like...
Hi, I too was intrigued by that photo but never took the trouble to investigate the wheres and whens. I thought the best thing to do would be to ask Daevid. ...
