Ugh...  I've been avoiding joining in on the whole bio thing for so 
long, but reading each of yours has been interesting and strangely 
inspirational.  It's a nice connection.

The name's David Abbitt, 27 and living in Hollywired, CA in an old 
Hollywood home (1920's) that was renovated and refitted into a short 
block of four flats back in the fifties.  The place is (ironically) on 
Beachwood Drive (not Avenue, and it's not in the Valley).

Been a fan of Thomas' since about 1984 ...  Went to spend a summer 
vacation with a friend at his grandmother's in Santa Barbara and every 
night before we went to sleep he'd put on The Flat Earth.  I was hooked 
after the first night and bought the CD for myself the second I got 
back to LA.

Have enjoyed every release by him since and am anxiously anticipating 
the rarities album, as some of my favorite TMDR tunes have yet to be 
released on CD (Field Work, Therapy/Growth, among many others).

Currently I work in the film/television industry (doesn't everyone in 
Los Angeles) as a production accountant, though I just landed my first 
"legit" producer title for an A&E Biography special, which is pretty 
exciting for me.  I'm happily married and have one child.

Though I've been a fan all these years, I was never (for whatever 
reason) able to see Thomas live, which would really be cool.  I keep 
watching the Times' Sunday Calendar section in the hope to see him pop 
up at some small venue for an intimate show.  No luck so far, but I 
keep my fingers crossed.  If it did happen though, I would love to see 
him perform at the House of Blues on Sunset.  It rocks pretty good and 
it's a fun venue to hook up with an artist at.  My ultimate song list 
encompasses pretty much everything he's ever recorded, and to see him 
perform with George Clinton live would be totally awesome.  I suppose 
if I had to pick one or two that I would just HAVE to hear live they 
would be:  Screen Kiss and ILYGB.

Anyhow, much love to the Dolby fans around the world and hope all is 
well!!!!!

P.S. Anyone know the status on that rarities album?
