Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Lyrics
XI. Once did my thoughts both ebb and flow
(Here on this MP3 I sing the 1st stanza and the 7th stanza.)
1.
Once did my thoughts both ebbe and flowe,
As passion did them mooue,
Once did I hope, straight feare againe,
And then, and then, and then,
and then, and then, I was in Loue.
2.
Once did I waking spend the night,
And told how many minutes mooue,
Once did I wishing waste the day,
And then I was in loue.
3.
Once by my caruing true loues knot,
The weeping trees did proue,
That wounds and teares were both our lots,
And then I was in loue.
4.
Once did I breath an others breath,
And in my mistris moue,
Once was I not mine owne at all,
And then I was in loue.
5.
Once woare I bracelets made of hayre,
And collers did aproue,
Once were my clothes made out of waxe,
And then I was in loue.
6.
Once did I Sonnet to my Saint,
My soule in number mou'd,
Once did I tell a thousand lies,
And then in trueth I lou'd.
7.
Once in my eare did dangling hang,
A little turtle Doue,
Once in a word I was a foole,
And then I was in loue.
Hi Patrick, Well Sir Paul and Robert now that is quite a dot connector. I liked your logic. I am still amazed how you get these 400 songs dusted off and breath new life into them. I was watching the new Robin Hood and listening to the string instruments and thinking no way they played and got that intricate beautiful sound in 1200 whatever. This is quite a chase you are on and I find it somewhat fascinating how you do it. Keep em coming.
