Patti DVD offer

[John MacDougall <xuicholti>]

I just got this through another group & thought I'd
put it out here.

patti smith 'emp' in seattle 6-23-00 & dutch tv
special 1996, both on a single DVD.

Send me your name & address if interested & promise to
offer to the group after you copy & I'll send it out
(note: you have to be able to copy & burn DVDs).
Haven't tried to see it on a stand alone DVD player,
but it looks & sounds pretty good on the computer.
John
