Yep, I have been scouring the net for years for anything Rastus, oh,
ever since I've been wired. Which has been since about 1992. But be
that as it may, I apparently ain't that good a researcher as I missed
your site until this day. But being the rabid credit-monger I am, I
DO recognize the
Rhys moniker from the rear jacket of my gatefold
eponymous "Rastus" LP. Also note that you were a co-writer on "Warm"
& "the "I-75 Riff" both which were the two cuts off that disc that
got the best rotation here in Naptown on WNAP, as best as I could
tell. Also the "I-94 Riff" off of Steamin'", which along with "Lucy
Blubird" & "Lazy Kind of Day" got a great deal of airplay on the
Buzzard.

Can I say, that I idolized this band? I saw them everywhere they
played around Indy. Mostly at the Sherwood Country Club on South
Emerson in the sticks, but also at the Rivoli and some club on far
East Washington near Post Road (I cannot recall its name). Got many
hoarse throats and wet jeans over these shows & I'm a guy...straight!
;-) But good music is pure sex, ya know?

Anyway, I feel as though I've missed the party boat? I managed to
find the astonishing release of "Steamin'" on CD on Amazon and
ordered it in a nonce, but see that you had real audio of the first
album up on your site a while back, but it no longer works. Any chance you have them
located elsewhere I am not looking? Sadly I saw that there was a Mark
Allan (a 2nd Gen. Rastus of which I am unfamiliar) who posted on the
Tower of Power website (in pre-blog 2003) about offering to sell
copies of their unreleased 3rd & 4th albums. I'd have killed!
Especially if my monies went to Rastus. I'd love to see them
resurrect, but I am not naive and know this is not their era.

So, again....the files, where, if anywhere can I find? Would you sell
master tapes that have been burned to CD to a previous Rastus LP
owner. I can offer proof of ownership on a command performance, have
both vinyl jackets in my possession as we speak.

Also, can you verify if the rumor that
Smelko is dead? What of? And
when? Man....



Thanx

Being blue ain't all THAT bad,
