<p>Hi Dave,</p>
<p>I forgot to mention Marvin Jones also had some interaction with
Larry Fast due to working at PAiA. I think he even got a liner
note mention on one of Larry's albums (my LPs are in boxes so
can't look that up easily). I used to work with Marvin in the
late 80's (telecom not synth related) and he's a great guy. I'll
forward this thread to him. He may have some additional info -
maybe the only person that does since John Simonton died a few
years back.</p>

<p class="">It's not clear if your looking for the
