Re: OT: RIP Mick Karn

[Charles Zwicky <cazwicky@earthlink.net>]

  Bill,

When I originally posted this news here, I did so out of respect and 
deference to his contribution to music and art.

I don't think you should have changed it to "OT"..    Too many 
loopers involved in his career and  his composition style is quite 
loopy...
