I bought them when they came out and was fascinated by many things, including his early (unknown to me) marriages and early involvements with utopian movements.<br /><br />But what absolutely floored me was a short sequence describing his correspondence with Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane (and later, Starship), and that he was appreciative of their music. Who knew?<br /><br />I can only hope that he was also a Jethro Tull fan, too. But that's my personal quirk.Blackwing1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-57405340729431625042018-12-18T16:53:30.940-05:002018-12-18T16:53:30.940-05:00Now you tell me.

(What a glorious day when the library decided to clean out their stacks and put all of their older ANALOG/Astounding on sale at 10 cents each. I cleaned out all disposable cash and got the majority of them.)<br /><br />For those of us in befuddled zone of life, exactly how do I buy the book through Tam's site? I clicked on the wish list but didn't see the book there (and assume that link is for one of us who wishes to gift something on the list to her) and did not see any other obvious link. <br /><br />ThanksRandyGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758726126424011542noreply@blogger.com
