Re: The Shaman's Den in January

I'm sorry about the sad news Frank, of course it's more than understood; as far as my side of things, there is no schedule conflict with moving the show to Jan. 17th.

My deepest condolences, and warmest thoughts to you in this time,

Jon

thanks, Jon. We have penciled it in until we hear if the band can do January seventeen.

he was my high school world Cultures teacher... And the one who gave us access to the mimeograph for our underground paper. He was picketing against the Vietnam war in 65 before it was fashionable to do so. He is one of my role models. The high school was in Redlands in southern California. His name is Raymond Haight. Apparently Haight Street was named after his grandfather who was a governor of California. I love how he loved life and people in a deep and lusty way. He taught how to have both an open mind and deep passions, and how to talk to others without limiting judgments.

In the mid- eighties, I ran into him up here in San Francisco. He was tickled at how my life had developed. At the time, I was trying to make my first film. He wanted to give me a couple of grand for it. But right then he lost his job and had to use the money for a biking tour of Europe with his wife. This made perfect sense to me! That is why he is my role model!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
