Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[Abra Cadabra]

Last i saw Scott was when he and his nephew were in Oslo in summer
2010. It was a music festival day all over Oslo outside and in all the
bars too... we caught some reggae stuff at Gronland, and by a church
near a park by the river outside some black metal and bad hardcore
bands. They took the cheap overnight ferry from Copenhagen and they
went to a all you can eat Pizza place before i winked them
farewell----
