Merle,
Oh, you're welcome. But this information is publicly available, broadly
disseminated, widely known, and much appreciated among most of John's fans in
USA. I can't speak for elsewhere.
Are you "up" on the doings of the 80 year-old widow? She had her birthday a
couple of weeks ago, and I asked you then if you'd sent your card. Let me know
if you need her address. International postage is only about a buck, you know,
and still a pretty good deal for personal, daily, delivery, 6 days a week; this
Summer to diminish 17 percent and become only 5 days in USA, which is probably
enough.
I'd be fine with three days a week.
Or once. CH'AN MAGAZINE arrives monthly.
BTW, here's the naming "citation" for Minor Planet (3834) Zappafrank --
Citation for (3834)
The following citation is from MPC 23792:
(3834) Zappafrank = 1980 JE
Named in memory of Frank Zappa (1940-1993), rock musician and
composer of innovative contemporary symphonic, chamber and electronic
music. Zappa was an eclectic, self-trained artist and composer with
incredible energy and a biting wit, and his music transcends the usual
music barriers. Before 1989 he was regarded as a symbol of democracy
and freedom by many people in Czechoslovakia.
