[Johan Edlundh]

>Greetings,
>        My name is Brian. I just joined this list and wanted to introduce
>myself. Most everyone I know calls me "pink" because of my love for Pink
>Floyd. So if you see a posting from "_pink" it's me. ;^)
>        I have been listening to HW for about 12 years and have accumulated
>a fair sized collection. I am however curious as to "unauthorized" or
>"rare" recordings by HW and related. Are there any lists compiled that
>would give me an idea about what is available? Are their any of you
>interested in PF related recordings? If so and you would like to possibly
>do some trading you can visit my site (URL in sig file) and check out my
>list.
>        I look forward to gaining more info on HW and keeping in touch with
>the current state of things...

>later,
