Greetings KO,
I meant that I would like to meet him
metaphorically. I'm in monk-mode. I enjoy
poetry. Van Vliet is delicious. And you are
correct to admire Krimel. He is often brilliant.

Hi Marsha,
I never met Don van Vliet, i am just a fan of his music and paintings;
from what i gather he will not answer the door - probably best chance
of contact would be indirectly through his art agent.
I sent you other of his lyrics before when you put up poetry.
