   Tang disappears for weeks somewhat regularly.  Maybe he's just ending   
   his summer vacation - that's what I was doing the last two weeks.   
      
   Speaking of which, I was in Western Mass. this past week [Poconos the   
   week before near a lake populated by lots of deer,] and among other   
   things I saw Crosby Stills and Nash at Tanglewood.  Lots of fun and a   
   few different flavors of smoke in the air near the men's room.  My mom   
   and 90 yr. old dad enjoyed it too.  It brought back some memories that   
   are probably close to home for you.   
      
   After we got back we were reviewing some of their old tapes on youtube   
   and I was reminded of how freakin' big the woodstock audience was.   
   [Wasn't there personally - almost went, but saw several of the bands   
   live in New York in other venues during that period.]   
      
   I think that was a better decade, but of course, things always keep   
   changing anyway.  :)
