Hello Jan
 
I am in my first year of studying for a PhD in the music dept of Glasgow University.  Hopefully I am going to be looking at the independent music scene in Glasgow from 1979 onwards.  
 
I am interested in the book on Los Angeles by Catherine Parsons Smith.  At the moment I am also working my way through the basic texts - so I would also be interested in reviewing the Shuker book.  When you say a short note - how many words would you be looking for?
 
My address is Flat 3, 179 Wilton Street, Glasgow G20 6DF.
 
Thanks
 
Robert Anderson
