Hi Leo,

I, too, miss SecretX, sort of...

I actually bought extra copies of LIVE AT THE WALDORF back in 2003, too. I 
bought them to try to get "low" numbers (since it was a limited edition) but 
realized my folly and left them sealed instead. I actually just sold one for a 
modest sum on eBay last week -- trying to get my daughter's 529 funded!

Hey Philip,

You should get a cut of Tom's share of each cd.

I'm wondering if T.V. not releasing the 4th "tv"-album  (or anything else) is 
because his
smoking finally caught up to him and his now serious health concerns swamp any 
plans for
releases.  

See, if Ms. Secret X was still with us she would know the answers.  

(Anyone see any news/reviews on that short, electric duo tour of Japan with Ripp 
last October?

Maybe he died from sushi poisoning over there? )

Just for the record [bear with me for a sec. Keith, I know your response to this 
is a hearty
"Who cares!"  :>) ]  
her initials are L.T. She first met Verlaine during tv's 1978 tour in S.F.; at 
the time she was
a H.S. sophomore 
writing music articles for a S.F. fanzine.  I tried contacting her recently, but 
her last
e-mail address is extinct. 
(I know several people think she just made up all the stuff she wrote on this 
List, but I must
say I never found a 
single discrepancy against what I already knew from my own 
research/oppressiveness.)

RE: extra cd copies of Verlaine/Telev's work:  

When they first starting coming out I bought a lot of extra copies of all 7 of 
the Collectors'
Choice (CC) re-issues/remasters; 
I figured it was a better investment than tax-free Municipal bond and that by 
the time my 11
yr. old nephew was applying to colleges, 
I 'd be a wealthy man and coup pay his way.   (And the very rare 
accidentialcWrong-Mix by CC
1st solo album will allow me to move to warmer climes). 

The only extra CC one I regret selling was "Live At The Waldorf" as no more 
exist.

I have a copy in very good condition of the Verlaine/P. Smith poetry 
collaboration, "The
Night", 
but it's not a 1st ed., signed copy, so my niece will have to pay her own 
tuition.

Leo

More seriously, Philip, thanks for the feedback on my Q on digitalizing vinyl 
the other day; it
looks like I'm going to 
buy a good but cheap soundcard from Joe Hartley and go the non-USB method.

"He did what we all do.  
He went about his dull routine 
as if all the days in the world 
were still to come".
