I'll always be a dunderhead on the computer, but it has allowed me to make contact with some of the folks that I owe (virtually) my whole lifestyle to.

So, Art...you may know this first hand, but what a shock it was to me. A couple of months ago Erik Darling sent me a CD of early Tarriers material. I was simply blown away at how accomplished a musician and arranger Alan Arkin was. This guy could PLAY! To think that he gave up the opportunity to live a life of poverty for that of a movie star!

Paul Prestopino is one of those names that pops up a lot when folks are talking folk nostalgia and the New York scene. Is it possible he just drifted out of music and is actually living a repectable life somewhere?

Cheers
