I am pretty sure Hal Willner did produce it though and he has done several DVD's for Shout Factory. I have misplaced my copy or I would confirm it. Did not want to send anybody on a wild goose chase. Tom has his hands full as it is with his own. <BR/><BR/>-STSaddle Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640646036914910941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-3662147448796593042008-06-07T09:36:00.000-07:002008-06-07T09:36:00.000-07:00TR . . .

Like Firesign Theatre you have created " movies for the mind . The referred to book is:<BR/><BR/> WRITING<BR/> LOS ANGELES<BR/><BR/> A Literary Anthology<BR/> Edited by: David L. Ulin<BR/> ( The Library of America )<BR/><BR/>Also, regarding L. Cohen. Check out Anjani's " Blue Alert " that LC produced. A DVD is also included. Shout Factory also put out the Hal Wilner produced DVD and tribute to LC. All, just like your carnival ,more than worth the price of admission.<BR/><BR/>-ST<BR/><BR/> XVIII wheels and a P.O.Box<BR/>From Ripon, CA enjoying the cool Delta breeze.Saddle Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640646036914910941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-35553628154624298972008-04-13T21:58:00.000-07:002008-04-13T21:58:00.000-07:00PAGE - 2Yes that should have been " Vancouver B.

Slippery devil. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Somewhere in the middle of lonely Kansas, listening to Mississippi Fred McDowell's " I Don't Play No Rock N' Roll"<BR/>double disc cd.

Thanks, too, for inviting Rosalie Sorrels on the stage. I didn't realize I was seated next to a legend.<BR/><BR/>Here's some photos from the show:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.mapgeek.org/~pnaciona/photos/tom_russell_ccc08/with_rosalie_DSC0305.jpg" REL="nofollow">With Rosalie</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.mapgeek.org/~pnaciona/photos/tom_russell_ccc08/tom_mike_DSC0243.jpg" REL="nofollow">Tom and Michael</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.mapgeek.org/~pnaciona/photos/tom_russell_ccc08/john_rodine_and_friends_DSC0182.jpg" REL="nofollow">John Rodine & Friends</A>Pericleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549323725306961762noreply@blogger.com
