NEWS, Highlights, Updates & Corrections:

- it seems my ISP is a little over-zealous with the spam-blocking, and some emails
sent to me have bounced back - most likely they are actually getting thru, because
everything sent to savagesound also goes to a separate gmail account

- get some classic velvet lounge wallpaper for your desktop at www.savagesound.com/gallery08.htm

- the Gene Siskel Film Center will NOT be showing 'My Name Is Albert Ayler'
instead 3 short Brötzmann films and a Han Bennink biography will be shown
