both greg shaw and IR have mentioned Zig Zag Mag's Family Trees as cool influences on their nascent careers; i, too--i am unfit for that or any other company--was mesmerised: moving out my senior year in HS ('74) into house with employees at cool mall record store (oxymoronic, but true) we scoured those little trees for connections, insights, and mini-truths. The world made more sense with each passing tree.
Now, the gist, as my Driver Leon Errol would demand:
Where are they? Collected? Book form? Internet Site? I didst me a googling--don't tell my wife--and came up with New Riders of the PS one, and although microscopic it awashed me with nostalgia.
Don't send me to England: re-prints of Early Zig Zags go for mucho pounds, and all I want are the bloody trees.
