Recently acquired ''Anthology'' CD by Oingo Boingo. In it Steve Bartek does a lovely job with horn arrangements, producing, handling guitars and rhythm vocals.

Mark Tulin's passing is most unfortunate. I have the Electric Prune's ''Long Day's Flight'' compilation on vinyl, as well as ''Mass in F Minor'' on CD. Both are stellar examples of the psychedelia marking the spirit of their time.

Yes, Dennis Dragon (if that's the same one I'm thinking of; and brother of Daryl) was a temporary Byrds drummer (not Daryl, as some books say) back in the early 70's.
