(not our lovely goddess) I couldn't remember Bob Muller's name and went to the Wikipedia entry on Happy to look him up. Interestingly, though he is mentioned several times in the article (including as her husband), it doesn't mention his contribution to Find Me, though other musicians on the album are listed. (And he not only performed, but produced the album!) On Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 12:17 AM, robert bristow-johnson < rbj@audioimagination.com> wrote: > > Curiouser and curiouser.

(not our lovely goddess) Vickie, I just wanted to say congratulations on your finally acquiring HappyRhodes.com. I'd been checking that site regularly back when Jack Chapelle owned it, but lost track of it until tonite. Imagine my pleased surprise when I loaded the page to see you'd gotten it and dedicated it to Happy. Good job and, again, congrats. I've love to hear the story of that acquisition some time. - --Doug On Tue, May 10, 2005 at 5:21 PM, Xenu's Sister wrote: > That dick in Canada renewed the domain name > "happyrhodes.com" for another year!

IIRC the domain ownership ran out and Mr. Cornett secured it for Vickie. - --Rolf ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #1549 ****************************
