Hi All,

Been enjoying the thread on possible use of Trons
in jazz music. I caught a Website some years ago about
a jazz musician in NYC named "Phil Parlapiano."

....Really, that's his name ! Anyway, that Website featured
a photo of his M400 among his other gear. This was about
5 years ago, not sure if still online. He was last seen busking
in pubs,bsmt. bars in lower NYC around Greenwich Vill .

On a similar topic, I heard a cover-band do a gig in NJ
long-ago in a bowling-alley bar of all places. What really
blew me away was their custom-made tape-rack of
female black voices. Never heard this sound since then.
....That was 1976 . JB, have you heard of this sound ??

Cheers, Jerry K.
