    Artis was one of a kind. I met him in Eugene Oregon. Saw him open up for Phish in Seattle. An uncompromising artist and very powerful on stage or on his cassette tape recordings. I wrote to him several times when it was just Post Office Boxes. I miss his presence but honor him by playing djembe + hand percussion. Heart .

      Hi Julian Yep. Thanx for the compliment.
      Yaah. I could play 25 years ago
      Better than today anyway
      That's the real deal. I'm surprised it took people 25 years to post it, and then ...
      I've been meaning to post it but I wanted to wait till I finished wrapping it all up.
      i.e., book, never before viewed vids, stories and maybe one more studio thing, sans spoons
      Session took 2 hours, four takes, $1000
      I politely insisted to Susan that we videotape it
      I wound up with the only copy
      And, Yes, it was at Bad Animals
      I haven't played for nearly 3 years
      Got emotionally tired
      None of y'all have any idea of my own stuff
      Nor is anyone truly interested
      I'm considered Hella novelty
      but musicians don't consider me a musician
      I decided I wasn't gonna play on anyone else's stuff
      if they weren't playing mine as well
      For instance, the guy who posted this
      Didn't post anything of mine that is also on that vid-come DVD
      The title is NOT FOR SALE
      Because I didn't want to get in trouble for selling clips from Letterman, Soundgarden, David Sanborn . . .
      If you want one send me a dime+ postage
      Now I'm fat, slow, depressed, angry and basically down
      Brain damage, nothing personal
      72
      Had another heart event a couple of days ago
      Heart rate 170
      My defibrillator goes off at 180
      They kicked me back to normal (58), my normal
      at the local clinic hospital
      I've got some stuff to produce
      but I don't have the fund$ to afford it
      So . . .
      Bottom line:
      I was pretty successful before the song.
      Had been to 20 countries
      National TV in many of them
      Done the Letterman Show, Sanborn, Gong Show (Ha)
      I bet that one's not available to view
      And then along came Chris
      Don't anyone in this chaotic world even begin to dis Chris in my company
      I'll set them straight forthwith
      Again, thank you for the compliment
      - "Dime" = a tenner
      Peace
