Bill,
Thanks again for putting me up last night and sending me off with that great veggie breakfast. I would love to get Chris’s contact about her editing classes at the University.
The ‘zine looks great and hopefully will be the start of true art & musical inspiration for all ages.

Devo,
You’re welcome. Fun to see you, share Honk! enthusiasm and chat a bit. We are just starting to organize issue #2 of the mag. Send us your impressions of Honk Fest, the latest from the Carnival Band/BC or riff on anything related to these things. Let me ask Kris about the best way to contact her regarding editing classes
Would like to talk to you about the National Music Service Corps article and about Kulaks Woodshed.com
Talk later.

Dear, Whom May Concern
I am writing to introduce myself to you and am asking if I may have a contact in your department with whom I can correspond and then meet up with at the beginning of October when I am coming to Seattle on a business trip. I hope to be in Seattle for at least two to three weeks in order for me to link in with you and experience the Community and Arts projects that you offer. I am looking forward to meeting as many people as I can and establishing good firm business contacts.
My name is Stevie David Shelley and I attach a copy of my business letter which explains just what my work entails and the organisation, Orb UK Orb Community Arts who are a local recognisable non-profit organisation based in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, UK. With whom I collaborate with having access to Orbs modern Rehearsal and Recording Studio.
The web site for Orb Community Arts can be viewed at: http://www.facebook.com/orbartsecoxmusicproject, http://www.orb-arts.org, In addition Orb are on facebook.
It is my desire that we link with your Community Arts Projects and promote each other on an International basis- helping each other.
This is just an initial contact and I am looking forward to your reply and exchanging much more information.
Kind regards
Stevie David Shelley
Hi Stevie,
Sorry for the late reply and that we didn’t get the chance to meet up with you. I hope your trip to Seattle was fruitful and effective. Harmonic Dissidents is a small operation with very limited resources of time and money. If you have a story to tell and would like to submit it for our online magazine, please feel free to send it to our editor Bill Clifford for consideration. We wish you success in your endeavours and hope to hear from you again in the future.
sincerely,
Brian Foley
