       A close friend of mine just donated to me a book she picked up
       years ago.  It is a poster book put out by Mick Farren in the UK
       about 1978.  Inside it are approx. 50 11"x17" reproductions of
       early psych posters, typically advertising concerts or albums.

       I skimmed thru it at once, and lo-and-behold there are *3*
       HW-related posters in there!  There is the "Roadhawks" car image,
       the Deep Fix NWF cover, and a HW/Man "1999 Party" poster.  The
       credits say that all were donated by Doug Stiff to Mick.  I even
       spotted the grey BOC cover with the Messiersmitt(sp) in there.

       Too cool!  She blew my mind when she just pulled this out of the
       back of a closet, where it has sat for more than a decade.  She saw
       the HW reference and remembered my obsession with this group (all
       my friends know I like that "Hawk-something from England" group
       that I am always trying to play for them).

       ...just felt like sharing a happy moment with ya'll...  ;-)
