      Matthew;

      Thank you for your patience.  Your letter has presented me with many

      possibilities to consider.  Promoting the events and music of the 60's is

      exactly the type of activity I'd always had in mind.  I have no problem at all
      with considering publishing a link to SFSound.com, when you come on line.

      I believe I might be of help to you in setting up and promoting your site.

      I've been something of the poor step-child since the alledged "Official" Moby

      Grape web page went up.  I have some ideas for setting up a specific type of

      site, called a "portal." As well as for new and creative ways to display

      information on a site.

      Since the band's geocities page gets the lion's portion of attention (at the

      moment, at least), I haven't been able to accumulate much of a fan list

      myself.  And most of those are friends of Jerry Miller.  I'd be happy to help

      you put those names of yours into a database for mailing, newsletters, etc.,

      of course, I'd like to be able to have access to them in the future myself.  I

      have some *great* ideas for the fan letters as well, but we can talk about

      that later.

      And that's some of my dilemma.  I'm not inherently opposed to the commercial

      use of this site but I have no immediate and only rather fuzzy long term

      plans.  I'd be happy to revew your licensing terms and I'm certainly open to

      your proposals.  In fact, I'm quite certain that we can have a positive and

      mutually beneficial relationship.

      Matthew, I can not tell you how exasperated I get, it would be a pleasure to

      be able to work with a true "professional," and an accomplished one at that.  I

      welcome the opportunity to bring mobygrape.com forward with the current
