hehe allen, this reminded me of a time in the mid-70s when i was visiting at richard heyman's in spring street. (he was doing dreamscape, EAR magazine and new wildnerness activities with charlie morrow at that time, among other things.) he and some friends had recently bought the bar downstairs, painting over the curly bits on the 'B' of the neon 'BAR' sign so that it now proclaimed itself as 'EAR' - EAR Inn. alone in the flat, i answered the phone. a woman asked for richard heyman and i replied he was downstairs tending bar and could i take a message. after some silence she replied, 'yes, tell him the alterations are finished and his tuxedo is ready. if he'd like it can be sent to him by messenger'. sometime later i relayed the message, seeing nothing amiss in the idea of tuxedo alterations. one never knows what a performance will entail nez pas. i relayed the message which was received strangely enough. it wasn't until a later time that i learned of the Other richard heyman, chef d'orchestre, also living in manhattan, and the occasional namesake gaffes. i've no idea what happened to the tuxedo. i pause and wonder: did the Other richard heyman ever experienced the joyous dissonances of an ocarina orchestra? -- allen bukoff writes : Noticed an unusually large number of web visitors to the fluxus portal page <www.fluxus.org> today (2,428 vs. daily average of 61 hits).
