Steve, you actually played with Billy Maxted? Whatever happened to him? I've 
been trying to find his old records or tapes or whatever. He played in the 
Village with one of the tightest groups I ever heard, although his records 
never sounded as good as he did in person for some reason. Please let me know 
if he's still around and where I can hear his music. Much much appreciated...
