Ric Masten NOSTALGIA series House Concert DVD (new) LPs to CDs Click to get ORDER FORM >>>Of late SunInk Publications has been getting requests for CDs of Ric Masten’s old LP records. Therefore, we have converted all thirteen of Ric’s recordings into CDs... A bit needle scratchy (click, pop, click) here and there and the fidelity is not as high as it originally was, but folks tell us they are more interested in reliving a yesterday than in having today’s surround sound experience... It's nostalgia they’re after, they say... We located clean copies of all thirteen records Ric Masten released between 1967 and 1982 and can now offer them in the CD formate. Now on CD: Ric Masten reading from his Prostate Cancer Odyssey (new), Big Sur Dance (new), 12 String Sermons (1967) — River School Folk Festival (for kids 1969) — Windows (1969) -- Ric Masten Is Back!

PALO COLORADO MONTHLY NEIGHBORHOOD POETRY READING TO KEEP RIC MASTEN ALIVE SOCIETY     Only now have I discovered that the Genie got out of the bottle and that his name is Bill.  To date we have done 51 gatherings of the "Palo Colorado Monthly Neighborhood Poetry Reading To Keep Ric Masten Alive Society" and Bill Wenner has been to all of them pinning a microphone on me and telling me to say something and then giving me the thumbs up. He then disappears behind his digital video gadget and I soon forget he is there in the corner keeping me in focus.  Then last week Catherine invited Billie Barbara and me to their house, about a five minute walk from ours — for a surprise she squealed.  But Catherine is one who can't keep a secret very well so before we arrived she let the cat out of the bag telling us that Bill had made an hour DVD out of six of the monthly readings.     Now, I hate to listen or look at myself in performance and had planned to tell Bill that "I loved it!" even though I hated it.  But when I saw the incredible sensitive job he had done, and considered the immense amount of time he had put in to this project — catching the magic of these special events I now have to admit that Cecil B. De Mill married a woman named Catherine and lives a stones throw from  our house.  Thanks Bill! House Concert DVD (new) .
