seems with samm bennett's background w/ traveling and all was different from many of the other l.e.s. improv musicians and that nyc wasn't his ultimate destination just another step along the way

Well, WR. I considered it, but you really can't discern Samm's congas in the song and there just wasn't enough time.

Is there anyone Fred Frith hasn't played with?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:47pm

Could be a short list. Frith had a monthly guest spot on Jim Price's show on WFMU in the 80s. Jim also had Peter Blegvad as a guest as well.

That's the one I was thinking about.
Though, to be honest, I'll probably not remember to wear it before I'm at the show. I have more than 150 WFMU T-shirts, so I usually don't think about which one I'll wear
