Re: [newmellotrongroup] Nearfest Apocalypse

I recall be amused when the Strawbs played in 2004 and Dave Cousins (much  
to his chagrin) walked around all over Zoellner and was rarely  acknowledged.

I think this is going to be a really good one, This has become many peoples 
 only vacation plans for the year, with last year falling through and the  
declaration of the end of the series as we know it and with the prestigious  
reputation amoung musicains and cogniscenti. It will be a blast.  


What us really funny is that really famous mainstream people, actors,  
performers show up as fans and nobody aknowledges or recognizes them (or even  
gives a shit IMHO). If Sherman Hemsley showed up that would be  different.

Frank & Gino,


Frank - I'm happy to hear that you are recovering nicely and are  feeling 
much better.


I read about the incredible lineup of the 2012 Nearfest  Apocalypse 
festival and wish both of you guys and everyone else who  attends a great time !


I wish I could be there...


Robert

Gino,
 
I am actually in pretty fine shape these days. I belong to a gym, I  weigh 
178 pounds (down from 239), I eat right and I am working on recovering  my 
upper body strength. I no longer take, nor require blood pressure or  
cholesterol medication, my blood sugar, triglyceride levels, etc. are all  great. 
Except for a bit of arthritis, I feel fantastic. I think by June  21st, when 
I leave for Bethlehem, I will be strong enough to schlep a M400  out from my 
basement and carry it up to my truck by myself... not that I  intend to do 
so.
 
However, I am grateful for your offer of help and not to prideful or  
stupid to accept and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
 
Frank

It's old home week for me.  All of us record importers from the  70's make 
contact during the festival.  We feel like we actually did  something in our 
youths. 


I will be around if you need help.  I know you shouldn't be  humping gear.
