#N:uokvax:5100001:000:1373 uokvax!rctracy Oct 26 03:30:00 1983 Anyone out there remember some rather bawdy albums by one John Valby? I heard a few of these at a party in the Fort Collins, CO. area two years ago, and have been trying to locate some ever since. I gather that the albums have been out-of-print for years, judging by the non-success I've had! (A clerk in a record store in Denver was the only such person that had even HEARD of Valby. An invitation to party sometime was extended :-). For the uninitiated, the albums have such titles as "Psychological Bullshit", "Eatbite", etc. If I have to justify my like for the guy, he DOES show evidence of having some classical training, and he is an excellent pianist (bar room style, whatever your conception of that might be). Beyond all that, he is funny (my opinion, you don't have to agree)! I would appreciate hearing from anyone with leads on where I could get any Valby albums, and as the next best thing, I will consider letting someone that already has the albums (in good condition) record them for me. In any case, let me hear from the Valby fans out there! --Bob Tracy University of Oklahoma P.S. Sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the UUCP sites to give you an electronic mail address to respond directly. For those wishing to try, however, I believe the path is ...!ctvax!uokvax!rctracy (no guarantees except for the last two elements).

Gene, you are indeed a brave person to come forward, but my
gratitude is immense! Funny that you should mention Rochester
and the House of Guitars... I've been in there a few times, but
had not yet heard of John (damn!). In any event, most of my family
lives in the greater Rochester area, and a few phone calls back east
should produce the desired results. Thanks for the fast response
on this!
Sincerely (!),
