Hi Bob
I have no great knowledge of and so no valid opinion on the Buffalo show.
The main part starts, I believe, in first peoples' (is that what we say
now?) writing - on walls.
So that's potentially interesting.
Mind you, how valid the connection is, I remain unsure. I recall some of
the origins traced by houedard and by cobbing / mayer; and, while it was
good to know, maybe, it didn't help me much in what I am doing and looking
at --beyond a general counter argument to those who see what is _modern_
as somehow deficient -- and that battle, if it is a battle, is still being
fought
I agree that he needs a one man show in North America. Though I am not
seeking it just now, only to say _not yet_, I'd certainly welcome hearing
from anyone who could facilitate such an event and would do all I c ooud
to make such a thing happen
Best
