Gregg, thanks for info.  It scares me a little that I could 
look at that last page of that 4 days ago and miss what was 
right in front of my nose.

No--I was wrong 3 times in a single paragraph.  

Terry Melcher (Doris Day's son and an acquaintance of 
Charles Manson) produced the single "Mr. Tambourine Man" 
and the Byrds' first two albums.  Jim Dickson [not Jim Boyd]
produced Byrds sessions in June 1965;

Arthur Lubow, writer of the liner notes of Drake's boxed set,
interviewed a *Joe* Boyd and it was not Boyd nor Dickson to 
whom Verlaine extolled the musical virtues of Drake's recordings. 

Lubow from liner notes: "After a punk rock concert in New 
York that strains the specifications of the loudspeakers, 
[Drake's] English producer John Wood goes backstage.  There
he is introduced to Tom Verlaine, star of the trendy[?!]
band Television. To Wood's surprise, Verlaine knows all 
about him.  "I've admired your records for a long time," 
says the gaunt blond guitarist, then names the performers
he likes:  the McGarrigle Sisters, John Martyn, Fairport 
Convention.  "But you know," says Verlaine, "the very best
of all is Nick Drake."
