Don't feel as if I knew him really well, only met him at a few events
and we only ever spoke briefly but warmly to each other. However,
witnessing Doug Oliver performing a live version of The Diagram Poems
at the London Musicians Collective in the early 1980s was one of the
most awakening (long term) experiences for me as a latter pedagogical
performer. He spanned between sometimes otherwise discreet 'scenes
and tendencies and I value and valued those who do so hugely. I'm
looking forward to watching his work bloom - as always so many
unfinished projects but thanks Doug for the passion and the urgent
details and the broken flow
love and love
