ohhhh brudda........can ya spare.........a Dime...........
Through the diligence of coyote/skywalker, we have some very enticing
Patti Smith history here.
Below is the description from the source. I am helping with
distribution, and so all content is as I received it, today, June
26,2006.
------------------------------------
This DVD contains some Patti Smith recordings that for various reasons
I'm not torrenting on dimeadozen.org
Here's why:
Patti 12/25/71 and filler: I can't share it on Dime because spectral
analysis shows that it is lossy. << This is the earliest known
recording of Patti Smith, melding her poetry with improvisational
music.>>
Patti 3/24/01: I can't share it on Dime because spectral analysis
shows that it is lossy.
"Roots": track one can't be shared on Dime because it was Patti's
first official release (a now-rare 1974 single).
"Rarities": can't be shared on Dime because every track was officially
released.
3-disc compilation "Patti Wrecks the Polo Grounds: One fan's dream
concert" contains many lossy tracks.
Absolutely no selling! Please share freely. Please only convert to mp3
for your own use.
peace and light,

I am going to attempt to serve everybody. Skeptics say not to, but I'm
hard headed. The different methods of doing this, vine, tree, or b&p,
will depend on what each of you want, and will depend on what kind of
disc player you have, and what programs you are familiar with. To
decode the compressed files, you will need FLAC front end... If you
have Win amp, there is a plug in that allows you to play the
compressed files on your computer...
Now...the easiest way to send this, is just as I received it, on one
DVD disc. Postage is minimal, in the States, it would be .63. I can set
up vines, lists of addresses ( probably five on each one ), and get
these going the fastest.
Some people may not have a DVD reader, but still may want the
compressed files, with the info files. I can burn the compressed files
onto 4 800MB discs, or 5 discs, if I include the miscellaneous
material...marley mpeg, calvin and hobbes complete, 4 patti Smith
mpegs, a poster file...Now, I will only do ALL of the miscellaneous, or
none... you make that call.
Still other folks, only have the capacity, the patience, or the time,
to receive AUDIO discs. I have yet to decode any of these, to tell
anyone how many discs that is. But my guess is one disc for each,
except the 'Patti wrecks the polo grounds', which appears to be three.
That would be 7 audio discs, and 2 more discs for the misc. stuff.
-------------------
*DVD Vine*
One DVD
*CD compressed tree...with miscellaneous*
Five 800MB CDR
*CD compressed tree...WITHOUT miscellaneous*
Four 800MB CDR
*Audio tree or B&P*
Seven CDR (or add three more CDR for misc. stuff)
This is open to anyone, and the vines will no doubt happen first. If
anyone is willing to head up ( branch ) a tree, let me know if you can
receive it all on DVD. If so, I will get the disc to you well before
the trees are built. If you do go for a B&B, with the branch on your
tree, consider sending an extra disc, in case there is a flaw in
burning. It happens, and the spare is quicker than choosing what NOT to
get.
I am very open on the best way to get this situated around the globe.
I would really like the initial disc to be DVD to keep postage from
becoming cruel. Then hopefully, the bigger packages can generate around
inside each country, keeping postage 'local'. but I realize...the best
laid plans of mice, and men....
Okay then...just let me know which selection interests you. Make sure
that you include...
A. what you want
B. a valid e-mail address
C. your snail mail info...WITH zip code
Yours till the trees come home...

The Earth, with all of its grandeur, is given from the same source as
our souls. How can we grasp the aspect of attaining wholeness for our
souls, when that judgment day comes, and not be aware that the other
gifts we have been given, and the condition with which we have
maintained them, will not also be a point of accountability?
