Jay-hoon,

I would love to be able to respond at this time to your ongoing
digital cyber website newsletter type... thing. But where to find
the time? To start with, I've got tons of holiday baking coming
up. And you know what happens when I start baking. Hint: It
rhymes with something tasty.

And then there's this new deal where I sneak into the homes of
the people of my village at night and fix their shoes anonymously. Not that everyone doesn't know who's doing it-- of course, they do. But we never talk about it. Anyhow, that's kind of on the time-consuming side, too, as you can well imagine. Have you ever cobbled? It's a lot more relaxing than you'd think.

So, best of luck with the very important work you're doing.

THE YOUNG DUDES transplants from kansas city where we met a lifetime ago

Kenny London was the funny guy and the rest of the young dudes were musicians. They may have been attending the Art Institute. Higher education always confuses me. Mark Leggett and Mark Hart lived on McGee Street in the heart of the action. Bill Bergman moved around. London lived with the Dry Jack Band in Parkville, Missouri, north across the river. In about 1979 Dry Jack moved east to New York and the Young Dudes moved west to LA. One at a time I guess.

Mark and Dr Kelly Hart at a&m studios 1986

Hart made the first splash by landing a gig with the Hudson Brothers. Awesome. Leggett became the king of casuals and the sound of many studio recordings where he played the whole band as far as I can tell. Bergman dabbled in jazz and then his jamming Monday night horn band suddenly became Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. They've all prospered. Hart toured with Crowded House (they're back), Supertramp, and Ringo Starr. Leggett has become the king of TV Cop Show themes(many emmy nominations) and now is the musicsmith of NBC's My Name Is Earl, Berg has recorded on hundreds of albums and has a production thing going on. Kenny London writes for everything you can think of when he's not cobbling.
