      From: JYOB@aol.com              Just found out that Monte Smith(aka PAPA, indifference, Batpuller, among       others) a major contributor to this newsgroup & *HUGE* FZ fan passed away       12/4/17 due to complications from cancer. He was 64. Met him thru this group       & we exchanged many a tape &        cds (Beach Boys, Steve Roach, Boz Scaggs, Ry Cooder, Ronnettes, etc.) thru the       years. Glad I was able to turn him on to the music of Stan Ridgway who he was       able to see him in concert (twice) & meet him & his wife, Pietra Wixon, in       person. A great        lover of PBR beer.              And yes, Mr. Lewis Saul, that was he who showed up at your door with the       Zappa(?) bootlegs that one day many years ago. The same person who used to       "criticize" your posts here ad nauseum!! ;-)              Have a Pabst Blue Ribbon (or any other beer) tonight in his honor!!              Be seein' you, ol' pal!              The OLD Geezer              ND: Sierra Nevada Rye IPA       NP: Shroud of Night - Steve Roach              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
