Projects by or about Friends, Musical and Literary and Otherwise
- Dan Weltsch, NYC artist and all-around mensch; he's also SLM's longtime art/graphics honcho (Neon Park : Little Feat :: Dan : SLM)
- Zapruder Point (Chicago), featuring Tom Millard drumming and Casey Riordan Millard fiddling
- Michael Zapruder (SF), no relation to ZP, but yes to certain other Zs
- The Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness, a Feelies tribute group and another of Tom Millard's many projects
- Casey Riordan Millard and her disturbingly cool paintings
- The Dirty Rugs, the strangest and most abstract of Tom's bands
- Electric, another great Chicago band in Tom's circle
- NB: John Millard, the guitarist in the family trio, is a terrific singer/songwriter working around Raleigh-Durham, NC. John really needs a website or two. Our sister in Columbus, OH, Susan Dutton, is musical in a more low-profile way

By all means let me know if I've somehow left you out or missed something available online... not everyone I know who's doing interesting things is doing them on the web, but I'm hoping to cover as much of the waterfront here as possible -- B.
