The early experience of
Dick Metcalf aka Rotcod Zzaj (artist, collaborator, keyboardist, Improvijazzation Nation ezine)
My first tape trade was with Mark Kissinger, guitarist out of Pennsylvania. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember which tape I sent him, or the one he sent me, but it felt like a whole new world had opened up for me… I was living in Korea at the time, and unable to be around other experimental/psychedelic players, & I could tell that Mark was at the TOP of the heap. My feelings were certainly borne out, as Mark and I went on to make MANY tapes together after that!
