All of the people I have talked to who met Ramases speak well of him. It is good that there is still interest in him and his music. We must do our best in various ways to keep that going.

Hence the name of flying boats. The East of England is extremely important in 19th/20th century military history of course. Bawdsey Manor. Orfordness. Martlesham. But I did not know about the seaplanes. Thanks.

This is making me think that a Suborderly piece on 'origins' might be a good idea some day.

Similarly, things where history intersects the tangled web of everyday life. These are not empty sets, they are the fullest.<BR/><BR/>Mr Sushiboy. A number of online sources claim that Ramases died in the early 1990s. On your account, this must be false. Yes?John Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848570820762119074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555062786299592235.post-76029547320312489462007-07-12T00:38:00.000+00:002007-07-12T00:38:00.000+00:00Very good story, and it shows that [hi][story] is ...Very good story, and it shows that [hi][story] is not linear. Reality tends to re-connect, like chainmail. There's no escape. OTH, we can always be sure that whatever happens, is for [hi][storical] reasons.<BR/>Reading this blog, I was first thinking "What medication are U on?", but after enduring the full text (and images) I realised that you're on to something higher, more spiritual and still trivial.

[Incidentally, as the owner of the "RamGtr" - as it became known throughout communications between myself and the "well-known collector" - I should mention that at the time of purchase, East End Bargains would have housed most of Ram's music and recording equipment. I recall the owner telling me that his wife had brought all of his stuff in for sale. Perhaps some investigation into ley lines between Stanley Road and the shop (Spring Rd or Foxhall Rd?) would be in order.]Yukio Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15193141158850034601noreply@blogger.com
