I coordinate the journalism degree program at Melbourne's La Trobe University, and like everyone else in this game, we're engaged in reviewing our curriculum. To this end, your articles here and at MediaShift have proved invaluable. Enjoying the new book too!

I have been going thru my old records digitizing many of them and saving many as well (can't part 100% with analog). Well, one of them was Road Apple and Beyond which I probably purchased at Baileys music on Church St Burlington sometime around 1977. I lived in Burlington and surrounding area from 1972 thru 1979 and basically lived at Nectars. As Zoot Wilson used to say from the bandstand, "Live music 7 days a week, never a cover, french fries, and plenty of free parking". I heard so many great bands and musicians with Road Apple being one of my favorites. Over the years I wondered what became of the band. Doug was one amazing talent, how did he pass? Good health - thanks for the great music. Dan Dan,

I was 22 years old and I knew that Silicon Valley was the center of a huge and global societal shift. You really stood out to me, the quality of thought and choice of topics... You were formidable in the development of my intuition around tech trends. Thanks! I played Jazz bass for about 7 years before becoming an options trader in 1999, these days I help performing arts organizations advertise their seasons on the internet. Looking forward to your continuing work, always. -John Sanchez Bay Area Reader Dan,
