Re: Volcano Suns, Birdsongs: Dissolving minds want to know

[frog!meadow]

Re pZ's question about Volcano Suns/Dredd Foole/Birdsongs of the Mezozoic:

Any explanation has to start with a paean to

Mission of Burma (1979-1983):

  Moving, raucous,  masterful musicians...a  thinking person's artcore...
  I was in a ('fondly-remembered'?)  band that was privileged to open for
  them at their last local (Boston) gig.  I miss them terribly.  

	Roger Miller   --> now doing Birdsongs, solo and other projects
	Martin Swope   --> Birdsongs
	Peter Prescott --> Volcano Suns
	Clint Conley   --> producing records

Dredd Foole and the Din

  Dan "Dredd" Ireton and an ever-changing bunch of musicians.  Originally
  (ca.  1981?)   backed up  by MoB,  now usually  by Volcano Suns+friends
  (but not the guys on the record, whom I believe were the Moving Targets).
