	From Chris Stothard 21/9/07 I've had a look round your web site,and its ok,by the way i was at the oval too seeing frank zappa,and i saw the captain at leeds university i think it was 1971
From Barry Schorfhaar 14/8/07 love yr website, some of the paintings indicate buddhist content. you a buddhist?	From Piers 21/7/07 Just found you web-site. My name is Piers and I played on the trug concept. Really brought back some memories. Thanks for making this site.
From Curly 1/10/06 Thanks very much Ben for your excellent page of Magic Band memories. Great to see the return of the? " Zip ".	From Paul 30/9/06 Saw your posting about Drumbo's unfortunate disbanding of the magic band - real shame that as I caught them in Bristol and they were brilliant. Anyway, have just had a fun 20 minutes listening to the MP3's on your site - very off the wall, and very interesting ! Thanks !
From Phill Kellogg 26/9/06 Great stuff, Ben! What a thrill it must have been to chat with all and to jam with Rockette Morton. Is that the "zip on your head" in the picture? Very cool. - phil, a little blue and green with envy	From Dave Cass 21/4/06 Hello Ben, Great website, got here by chance, (I love the jack russell story, I am not sorry that he is dead, he made my life hell at school) Pleasing to see that you are now a fully developed northern artist person with a great family !! I still have fond memories of you coming to Iveridge at cross in hand with your hohner violin bass and distortion pedal for a jam !!........circa 1972?,....... Dave Cass, Tony Waters and Graham Beeney !! Well, I learned a lot from you as you were the eldest member of the group, especially thankful for the musical insight that came to me from you via Tony! (work that out).Frank Zappa, Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, Loudon Wainright and many more may not have come my way if not for you ! I can still remember listening to "Clear Spot" on tape in the bath at age 15 and it was great, and seeing Beefheart in Brighton 1974 ish, with my mates "big brother" thanks for the lift. 'not seen Graham Beeney since my first wife scared him off in 1977, 'still love guitars (isnt ebay great!) but keep them in the bedroom, 'me, still growing up, second marriage, 4 children between us, isnt life strange, 'love to Tony and Kay if you see them, 'respect to Ben!
From Vicky Paddle 15/5/05 Ben...hi!!!Tripped over the wailing snails site and thought really really good to see it!!!Let alone find me own name there too!!!Whata hoot I thought to meself!!! I'm very impressed with the site and enjoyed your paintings....Many thanks for the site Ben	From Simon Bowles 19/1/05 I already went to your web and that was another thing I forgot to say, it's really impressive!, so much stuff on there, I got lost and will go back soon
From Jon Stabiliser 12/11/04 Can't remember how I found the site - think I might have been searching for 'The Trug Concept' or something - anyway 'He's a creep' is an excellent track - total classic - I think I'm going to get my band 'The Stabilisers' to cover it - it is right up our street - we're at http://www.thestabilisers.com How do I get a copy of the Cd? By the way I used to go to Cross in Hand primary school, the Whaling Snails used to play our school discos!	From Stephen Dann 11/11/04 Whilst multi-slacking' at work I discovered your website (I was actually looking for references to my own Horam garage bands Total Chaos and Chainsaw Surgery). Went to see the Hot Zobs many times round the Horam/Heathfield area - I remember one gig at Chiddingly village hall where under the influence of Merrydown Vintage Extra Dry (we only drunk the silver label variety) I decided I should take your mike and sing X Ray Eyes instead. You took it well...
From Allison Vater 16/9/04 Just found your site via Friends Reunited and spent the last few minutes listening to the Hot Zobs songs you had listed. 'Jailbait' wasn't there!! That was always a favourite. Bought back some happy memories of watching you all play and rehearse at the Bells. I still go there! Your love of Salvador Dali rubbed off on me - I still remember the prints you had in the Flat - although I've never found any. Not looked hard enough I guess. I would be really interested in getting a copy of a Hot Zobs CD if there is one - let me know how much if it exists.	From Martin Smith 20/8/04 this is weird. As a big beefheart fan, i was trawling the websites on him, not expecting to find a Colne connection! As I have been twice just recently - as that is where my girlfriend is - hmmmm odd??? Nice to see such a site & the 73 anecdote...saw him on the last tour @ York...& it's me on the bootleg, at the front shouting out "oh man that's so heavy!" - yu know the track. Was at the exhibition in Brighton too.Hmmm Magic eh?
From Steve Smith 9/7/04 Lloyd told me about your site and I've been going all dewy eyed reminising about the snails and zobs etc.I even remember the Mynx Band ! Jeez where has the time gone? Anyway your site is a a fun way of spending a couple of hours (when I should be working)	From David and Beth 5/4/04 Checked out the website; it's a lot bigger than expected, although a soundclip of 'The Butcher' would have been nice. You've certainly been busy painting Ben, it took us ages to look through the gallery's (our computer's a bit slow) but it was worth the effort..
From David Lines 27/3/04 I came across your site circuitously. Whilst listening to Mallard’s “In a Different Climate” on Media Player wondering what had become of Art Tripp an Internet search threw up your site. I’m glad it did as I have spent a very interesting time looking through it. ...I enjoyed listening to your compositions particularly “Old Sod Sam” – could almost be on Trout Mask Replica! - and I like much of you’re A to Z of music. There can’t be many who appreciate Captain Beefheart and Teenage Fanclub (you are right, much underrated and IMO the best band to come from Scotland since, well, the Bay City Rollers!) I would add another couple of Scottish bands – The Blue Nile and The Bathers.	From David Corrie 8/1/04 I was unlucky enough to ‘experience’ the true awfulness of many of the bands ou have mentioned in the heathfield bands list, and in fact know many of the people you mention such as wilf and Mathew levitt dave curtis etc havin going to school at that time in heathfield comp. I have to say I was shocked at the discovery of this page and I think your possibly mad but very accurate about the time! thx for the laugh and memories
From Linda 6/12/03 Loved the website....the photo's are lovely of Yorkshire..it is really pretty.	From Andy Gulliver 6/12/03 Just out of curiosity, I entered 'Mynx Band' into Google search engine and to my complete surprise found someone who remembered the band! I shall have a look through your website now to see if I can remember any of the other bands listed
From Hunniisfunni 20/3/03 Just thought I'd drop you a line to say hi ("hi") and also to ask if you'd be kind enough to let me know if you're playing with the Fourfathers at any point in the future. The promise of anything Beefheart related in the UK is pretty appealing. Really enjoyed your A to Z of music too on the site...	From Slam Buckra 13/3/03 benji horrendousness! yo daddy-o.how ya beam? i was just flittin' around your site. what a lovely part of the world you reside in.and your paintings are splashy cool. do you sell `em? ..... i bet you dig francis bacon's painting too. keep up the good upkeep!
From John Wilby 21/5/02 I've just paid a visit to your website and am really impressed with how it's grown. You seem to have busy with creating your own music and in collaborations over the past year or so. I'll be downloading the samples in due course.	From Mike Murder 16/5/02 i spoke to zark from the burwash and he reminded myself of your site. GREAT STUFF ! I LOOVE THE ART I WILL VISIT YOUR PLANET AGAIN SOON MIKE MURDER
From Floppyboot 5/5/02 ...love your paintings. Also recently downloaded Spermataphore. You should be proud!	From MJB 20/4/02 This is a one MJB, ne Michael J. Bowman, aka Methuselah Junkie Browne Saw your site via an online review of Arse Inferno. Your lists of fave Fireparty acts was basically a mirror of my own record colection. I've been doing underground, experimental pop for years now, I'm always looking for soulmates to trade CDs, cassettes and e-mail with. You can find out more about me at www.semperlofi.com
From Colin Speight 17/4/02 Hello BH You tell us a lot about yourself, except (interestingly) your real name. We're the same age, you and I. Well - you begin the year, and I catch the tail-end of it, in the fashion of America in any war. We also share many heroes. Actually, I have an embarrassing number of heroes, but we overlap with a frequency that suggests a similar outlook. As to your main man: well, I'm still working towards Capt. Beefheart - I know I'll get there before give up. For the sake of a generalisation, you calendar front-enders develop quicker. Not only am I a late arrival, but I'm also the family sprog, so I'm maturing with a reluctance that suggests I'll have Capt. Beefheart in my grasp by the time I'm 70, along with John Coltrane, Henry Cow and Stockhausen. I've already accomplished the "rock" side of El Beefo: 'Moonlight On Vermont', 'Electricity', 'Bluejeans & Moonbeams', etc., but I stand on the precipice of undiluted Don Van Vliet like an Alcopopper before his first neat bourbon. At age 17 when I first heard him (and thinking 'Led Zeppelin' was as radical as it got), I was confused by the seeming clash of avante garde meets brutal crudity, and I guess that first impression stayed with me to some degree. His early stuff with Ry Cooder et al. is easily digestible, and Ry himself is a little squeamish about the later Beefheart. Anyway, thanks for your little website. I've enjoyed leafing through it and chiming with your opinions on what I consider to be musical gems. Long may you consider it worthwhile.	From Mark Kissinger 19/4/02 Hi, Ben... I got hooked up with your website via some mail that Bret Hart sent me and enjoyed browsing in your music guide--always interesting to see what kind of stuff turns people on (especially when they have broad tastes and are articulate enough to explain why they like what they like). I was surprised by a couple of names that I didn't see: Massacre (Fred Frith) and This Heat, two of my own favorites which I think would fit in very nicely with your interests. You did say that there wasn't enough room for everyone so perhaps they just missed the cut. Or I could be completely mistaken--that's happened to me plenty of times... I also listened to the tunes which Bret made available on his Expanded Duets Series Page and thought that the ones you did with him were very succesful. And besides that, I liked them!
From Leoslepidus 7/2/02 Do go visit that site of Benjamin Horrendous. He is not only a man of versatility but also has an excellent (but somewhat 'old fashioned' taste in music). There are not that many fans of both Virginia Astley (what happened to her), Kevin Ayers, Han Bennink (did see him on many occasion in the Amsterdam Bimhuis), Carla Bley, Captain Beefheart (listen to the 'horrendous' Beefheart tributeband), Ry Cooder, Fred Frith, Henry Cow, X-Ray Spex (Poly Styrene, where are you), and the laid grate Frank Zappa.	From Kaz 9/1/02 Hi Ben, just seen your site it's great, made me miss the old days in a big way. Really pleased life has turned out well for you and I can't believe you stayed loyal to Beefheart. You look from your photo as though you are well, happy and perhaps found your niche? ....
From Darcy Farqua 3/1/02 Just a short note of thanks from a grateful traveller.I'm making my way around Australia at the minute and feeling rather homesick decided to search the internet for anything I could find about yorkshire.When I entered steeton into the search engine I didn't really expect it to come up with anything. I was delighted when your web page appeared.I'm glad to say steeton is my home also,I was born in Airedale 24 years ago and lived in the village my entire life, it's good to know someone else appreciates the place as much as me!Once again many thanks for putting our home on the WWW you made my day!!!	From Martin Lankester 1/12/01 Your website is fantastic, a real taste of what you are all about, the art is great, the stories about you and Mark and Harry etc, and you obviously haven't lost your interest in Captain Beefheart. How I remember those Sunday afternoons in your room listening to Beefheart, Zappa and others.
From Vital Will 24/11/01 i been round half your website but the phone rang. i'm just going back in there in a minute. its brill. brings back the old molluscular days.	Fron Robin Beeney 7/11/01 For some bizarre reason I decided to see if I could find on the internet any evidence to support Harry Homer's claim to have written in the Arsenal FC programme some 100 years or so ago. Suddenly I'm reading about this (very) odd chap who brought back memories of my technical drawing teacher - good grief its is him - and there are Taplin (I'd forgotten his ties but not the chip pan fires), Russel at al - not to mention Homer the alpine skier (I'd forgotten that too - but it all came fooding back all too clearly. I found the site great fun.....- not all the music is really my cup of tea .....I remember you getting into Beefheart - and I remember your "green" trench coat, the "airline" bag you used to carry everywhere - because it was the "latest craze" - and of course the Hairy Dog Joke. Glad to see you still trotting that one out in all its glory. Looks like you've found a lovely part of the country to live in... Anyway, great to have come across you again.
From Olive 29/10/01 .....You appear to be the same Ben as when we were growing up. I'd forgotten all about Capt. Beefheart!!! certainly brought back memories...	From Angel 27/10/01 Hi Ben! I love "Shipwreck" especially & "Beggar" is great too. Really, I think your art is just stunning. If I had millions of dollars, I'd happily bankroll an art gallery/exhibition for you.
From Jenny 17/10/01 Hi! I really enjoyed your website. Interesting insights and evaluations of the musical acts.	From David Randell 12/9/01 Hi Benjamin Just perusing some music sites/sights?, and happened by yours. Interested in your pice about Edgar Broughton. You're right about the reason for their being late for that gig because of a guy about to jump from a bridge. It was the bridge over Archway road. The reason I know this, is that I was cycling with Edgar in the early "eighties" in north London and we stopped there and he told me the story (the same as you've told it) but with a little more detail. You'll be pleased to know they were successful and the guy didn't jump - well, not that day anyway!........ Any way, just a short line to say, nice site, nice taste in music, I was justresspassing through, but couldn't resist a little "ramble", take care.
From Paul Barker Hemings 13/9/01 Loved the school teacher profiles....My wife is Italian and teaches here in Italy-she was a long time believing me on this and accepting that the film "If" was realistic.I think that you've most probably tamed down your descriptions. All the best	From Kimberly Waters 29/8/01 Hi Mr Benjamin Horrendous, Funny name, funny guy, eh? Your initials mean(in German) a female undergarment. I just enjoyed your mp3 of "Hoboism" which was delicious! I've been quite a fan of the madcap several decades, like you......
From John David 19/8/01 love the 'ox' voice to the sight! ....... love the animatated 'big bangger' no eel's,or penisis implied! .......I must get your musick, you do not know how great you are- as also seeing we both are bassists!......oh,you mp3s are bloody outstading!	From Sue & Andy Risbridger 9/7/01 Checked out Bens site. Very impressive. Not really my kind of music but interesting nonetheless.
From Bret Hart 28/6/01 I took the time to really read through your website - stem to stern - and it's really decent.	From Pdub Guitar 26/6/01 Pretty cool web site you have too !.
From Colin Ellett 19/6/01 visited your site and its very good! (you'll need to give me some tips)	From Howard Kenward 18/6/01 Hello Ben. I wandered across your website while surfing. (searched "Heathfield"). Had a good laugh reading about Russell / Homer et al. from Heathfield Sec. You got it absolutly right. Brought back a lot of memories of my time there too. (Well, those I didn't lose in the concussion...that concrete pillar was hard !) Most entertaining thing i've read on the web in days. Well done, it's a heck of a good site.
From Annie Dixie 12/5/01 Hi Ben, here is Annie, the Dixey chicken from Adelaide, Australia. At last I got round to looking up your website from Malcolm's recommendation. Amazing to see what you look like these days. Love your pictures, like your cars - great to hear you have a good life.Love, Annie	From Di 3/5/01 I eventually got around to having a look at the sites and really enjoyed them, particularly yours. I'd never thought of having my own site before but now you have got me thinking. What a really interesting idea to have your own artwork on the net
From Paul 3/5/01 Enjoyed your site. Maybe you will find something within ours you will enjoy. http://www.geocities.com/hinterhoff	From Danny Goring 19/4/01 I enjoyed your site and the related links.
From Alan Mair 15/4/01 I really liked your site and thought my readers would very much enjoy it and find it useful, so I have arranged ot put a link to your site on my site. [ http://www.fieldofone.com official site of ex Only One Alan Mair }	From Chris 9/4/01 hello ben . just having a look at your work , in my T break at Kensington's.

Web site is great love the music and paintings.
From Oliver Garus 12/12/00 Eclectic is the word that comes to mind. Great web links = from 60's Batman to Ramones to Nicholas Roeg to Jah Wobble and, of course, Captain Beefheart: these are all my favorites, too. I'd love to share a drink with you one day. The A - Z is stimulating also. Cheers.	From Rex I Luria 12/12/00 Excellent website. I'm not ready to leave it yet. Maybe I'll move in. I feel at home here! cheers
From Malcolm Baker 10/11/00 Ben, I actually spent more than an hour and a half on your site the other afternoon! I read ALL of your music opinions and had a good lick at the Peppermint Post. I even waited for "Creation of the Universe" to download fully!!! I really must get a life!	From Markus Engvall 17/10/00 I have visited your site quite many times, as I really dig your paintings as well as your musical output.
From Victoria 2/10/00 benjamin, about 2 years ago i stumbled on your captain beefheart website after being tipped off by someone on a tom waits listserve that i frequent. firstly, let me say it is a lovely site, a nice introduction to a budding van vliet fan like myself. thank you for providing such a service.	From Dirk 8/8/00 Hi Ben, Just been on your site and you've done a brilliant job. Love the old Citroên, I learned to drive in a Visa and took it all over Germany. I went over there after I had my license for less then three month and it was very strange to be driving on the other side of the road and even though I was brought up over there it was quite a shock to the system. Anyway, keep up the good work with love Dirk
From Joe Manley 31/7/00 hey! like the site! Beef freaks are out there! I've got a radio station promo copy of doc at the radar station, any idea of worth if any one wants it email jdm6853@uncwil.edu	From Charlie Gee 15/7/00 I had a look at your Web Site. It Talks! Am I easily impressed or what
From Eric Murphy 29/6/00 Ben, greetings.. It was a real pleasure to stumble across your down-to-earth site while doing a bit of Beefheart browsing. Your art is v cool; keep it up. I shall definitely pop back from time to time.	From Brett Hart 8/6/00 visited your website, and found it (too) most engaging and fun. great links, as well..
From Brainpang 20/5/00 Your site as a whole is a real charmer -- your fine person shines through with zero pretension. You seem to have a real glow about ya. I get a real kick out of yr paintings.	From :::e::: 14/5/00 good web site!
From johnwilby1 11/4/00 Dear Ben, Quite like the sight. Yes I too got the hang of ambiguous ambidextruous musically altercacious stuff round about the time that Mister van Vliet was first strutting his stuff. Let me know when the next 4fathers gig is gonna B. B cause I wanna B there and share and B aware.	From Richard Metzger 7/3/00 Ben, The latest (99) paintings are absolutely gorgeous. You're getting better and better with every new painting! I encourage you to seek a gallery or rep for your work, it's just excellent! Keep it coming, Ben! I can't wait to see the new stuff, and of course, my girlfriend and I look at Kiss everyday. With admiration. Richard
From Brian Madonick 3/3/00 Benjamin, I wanted to write and tell you how much I admired your paintings, especially Blue Dream .Do you sell them? Or prints of some kind? I am also a Beefheart fan (paintings and music) which is what brought me to your site. I am listening to one of your MP3s now. I hope you'll post more. Is the trout mask replica painting yours as well? It's outstanding.	From Kimberley Dodril 5/2/00 Oddly enough, I did a search on "hair pie" and your site is where I wound up. Excellent stuff on your music list.
From Dave Roberts 3/2/00 Had a listen to some of the music. As you perhaps remember free form stuff was never my thing really but some of your stuff is pretty good. Still have to work through the paintings which look very interesting. My sides are still aching from laughing at the teacher stories. I'd forgotten about all those crazy times at school. Weird tyes and camouflaged moccasins.......great days!	From Tez Burke 7/1/00 Hi Benjamin, Many thanks for the link; I'll put one up to your site over the weekend. I particularly enjoyed your A-Z.
From Dennis Martian 6/1/00 I've noticed lots of updates on your website mate! It's looking good and the audio intro made me smile:)	From Blimp 944 6/1/00 Hi, this is a truly fine site. Ok, I'm biased as I am Captain mad. Weird to look at the list of beefheart fan's favs - so much like mine. Here's me thinking I had unique taste, all those distant cousins out there programmed the same. Kinda gave me hope for the world. The pics are cool too- do you sell any? see ya. bet you were at knebworth whenever it was?
From Raymond D Ricker 5/1/00 Nice Web site.	From Jochen d. G. 6/11/99 Hi Ben ! I really enjoyed your site. I´ve been there a couple of times before,but today I thought I´d drop you a line or two ! All hail rock´n´roll : Rose Tattoo, Motörhead and THE RAMONES !! Cheers from Germany
From E=mc(kewl) 5/11/99 Your web page is nice. We have a lot in common. I enjoyed the pictures on your website. I had the privilege of visiting GB about 20 years ago.	From Rob van der Kroef 1/11/99 I enjoy your site, especially the AtoZ musicguide. It fills in some gaps when I was in freejazz.
From Michael Glynn 30/10/99 Hi there Benjamin, nice web site.	From Thor 27/10/99 I visited your page and I am ultimately jealous, you saw Art Bears, they did "Freedom", it's unfair :)
From Patrick MacArdle 22/10/99 .....entertaining and informing web area.)	From Heather Johnston 19/9/99 ...I have been nerding and perving on your Website, love all the photos of the cars and the boys in the Bands, want to know how you set your hair on fire??
From Caron Thomas 15/9/99 I was able to go through a lot of what you have...Brillantly done! I am way impressed. Good job. i will keep coming back as there is so much more to see. Thanks for such a good place to hangout. p.s. my favorite painting is the Bottle.	From Lucy Thomas 8/9/99 Your stories made me laugh lets read some more! Lucy
From Hank Grebe 7/9/99 I looked at the main page of your site, and it certainly appears that you have been busy! Very interesting interests!	From Graham Halliday 5/9/99 I recommend Benjamin's site, the Ho Ho Ho by Whaling Snails sounds very much like it could be off Clear Spot or Doc
From Sonya 19/8/99 Donchya just hate people who come by and suck everything they can from your site and then never bother to say anything???? . Yeah. Me too. I really dug "dog". It's very deep and also reminded me of a few dogs I have known. Not mine though. I'm downloading one of your mp3 files too and promise to come back.	From Tosi 17/8/99 I had a look at your website; nice page you got there, I specialy liked your music guide.
From Angel 1/8/99 You're paintings are wonderful! I especially liked "Bottle."...	From Lucy Thomas 8/7/1999 Ben your website is pretty cool...did you do it yourself?
From Michael Stevens 7/7/1999 Hey, I like your paintings!	From Richard g 5/7/1999 I checked out your website - its pretty cool!
From Chris 25/6/99 Hi Benjamin Like the site ! I notice your scan of The Venue ticket. I was there as well ...	From Richard Metzger 9/6/99 Ben, Just a note to say how much I enjoyed looking at your paintings. I figured most people drop by without commenting, but I must say, you are a fine painter (very Van Vliet-esque, which is a good thing, of course). I especially like Kiss. Very nice indeed!
From Graham Johnson 24/5/99 Hello Ben, I've just been checking out your latest updates to your site, and noticed the ticket stub to David Breuer's lecture which I was also at. I wonder just how many of us were there who would later get to know each other over the Internet? I think Paul Brown of SSTS was there as well, and possibly Steve Froy. It was a fantastic lecture, wasn't it? I'm just downloading your newest mp3, cheers	From Ken Hutchinson 23/5/99 Benjamin, I just had a look at your web page - very interesting! I particularly like your paintings - Bardo Beings Desiring Birth is strangely unnerving. I take it you've read the Tibetan Book of the Dead?
From Nick Slaven 3/5/99 Fortunately I am running ie4 & so don't have any problems viewing your site, I like it	From Mal Function 2/5/99 Yo ho ho, Great Web-Site! I've downloaded a Snails a Zobs and a Solo track and have been having a nostalgic half hour - and one of your paintings is now my wallpaper (do I owe you a royalty?)
From Tom Rodwell 1/5/99 had a look at your site...very coo...and will have a go at downloading some MP3s...wonderful stuff. I'll definitely download some of your material as well...always good to hear.	From Brizz 30/4/99 Yes, well worth a look and a listen. I daresay there's a bit of Van Vliet influence
From Fast Paul Table 30/4/99 Very good. Seriously,it is very good.You ought to get yourself a" hit o meter" to register how many people look at it.	From Babi Ramone 30/4/99 Hey Ben,cool site!!!! Hey i didnt know you painted? your paintings are extraudinary,the use of color is wild,im a painter myself altho i never get around to doing much canvas painting myself,im always busy with custom stuff........nice work :)
From Stewart Osbourne 30/4/99 Nice one Ben!	From David Vandever 30/4/99 Benjamin, I enjoyed the site. Good work!
From Slap 30/4/99 Well Benjamin,I've checked out your website & I must say well done. What suburbs in Melbourne did you live in? Did you ever come down Victorias west coast to Warrnambool?	From Zoogz Rift 30/4/99 I'm having trouble checking out your paintings. "Birth" comes through okay, but all the other images are broken. What I did see was pretty interesting, however. I also noticed you're a fellow Ornette Coleman fan. BODY META and TONE DIALING are two of my favorite albums
From Dennis Martian 29/4/99 CONGRATULATIONS WELL DONE BEN. I have downloaded most of your paintings. They are lurking some where in the temporary internet files until i can decide where to put them. I think the image quality of the paintings is quite staggering . Not too sure about the mug shot though mate	From Theo Tieman 29/4/99 hello benjamin, congratulations with starting a home page! the outtakes are a good choice with 'hoboism' as the natural must hear of course!
