Dave and Becky's stuff

What can I say? I'm something of a pack rat. These are mostly from boxes and filing cabinets packed and stored serially in the garages of a string of homes and storage units for the last twenty-something years. Many are in better condition than I would have predicted, considering the means of production and non-archival nature of the materials used. At least most were easy to scan, not as much work to convert or as big as audio files....

Please do take advantage of the wiki nature of this site and feel free to edit this page. Correct errors grammatical, factual, or of omission; in many cases I have had to rely on memory to infer dates, so help there is especially appreciated. Also add sections of your own, or links to images of your better or variant copies and other related materials if you have them.

Imagery came from photos Joe had from an earlier performance (at the University of Illinois, if I remember correctly). Both the maids in aprons and the bassoonist pope were hand-copied and reworked on translucent vellum. The masking was done mostly with rubber cement to create splatter text and the bassoon aura, and the whole thing then spray painted black to get the final image. Printing was a single impression using black and red inks together.
This copy is still in reasonable condition almost thirty years later because we reserved a few artist's proofs for posterity. Archival materials were not used, and the quality of the printing is laughable by NIU Art Department standards, but the job came in at the right price. I recall borrowing everything except the paper and photo emulsion, maybe the black ink.
At this point I was not a member of the ensemble, and still tend to think of this as my audition.
