   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!
