Melanie RIP. I told ya of seeing her at cpark summerstage, buncha artists. “My set at Woodstock was pushed bk and bk. I played at (2?,3? 4?)) am. I did Lay Down and I had an out of body experience”. Maybe audience sang along. That’s gotta feel great. (Wotta understement)

I called wfmu to relate this Melanie story. And start talking. Host Andy told Ken “hang up, he’s not helping us”. So ken hung up on me. He apologized first. The 2 were asking for help to get Melanie ph#. About a yr ago
