On an unrelated note (aren they all?
about a comedy album but he couldn’t recall the name of it. “I can give you the Saviour himself, soooo small that it can be used as a rifle sight.” Well, that sporadically brilliant LP was called “Bill Martin’s Concerto for Headphones and Contrabuffoon in Asia Minor.” Released in 1970 by Warner Brothers (WB 1856), it was produced by the late, great Harry Nilsson. Some of the sketches don’t hold up too well, but the one mentioned by Roger Buttermore in his letter from down under was a bit revolving around an “embittered desert rat and soul citizen of Chuckawallla, California” called “Flash Flood” (in three chapters, no less). And it’s still brilliant! As to “where are they now” – well, the last I heard Bill was involved with video production with Mike Nesmith at Pacific Arts, both writing and performing. Well, that’s all the poop that’s fit to scoop. Please feel free to say HI any old time. And if you ever find yourself in these parts, DEW drop INN!
