Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: Re: [AMIA-L] Firesign Theatre Looking for recordings of their Work
I am a bit unclear on exactly what they are looking for over at AMI. I
am big FT fan as well and aside from the eight radio LP's that David
Lennick mentioned is there something else they are trying to locate?

if there are other lists out there, please forward. This is a shame
that this wasn't saved. I know we can't save everything, but...
For those unfamiliar with Firesign Theatre, I first heard them in
1969 and found their humour and satire amazing--but I only know them
through their released recordings.
I was just listening to "Shakespeare's Lost Comedie" the other day.
I love the Firesign Theater so much that I've named all my hard drives
after characters from their records.
I had the privilege to see them live on their 25th anniversary tour,
and still have my souvenier pickle and brown paper bag to prove it.
Hard to believe that was 15 years ago..
