Back in the late 70s, i met the ever charming Erling Wold and Brian Woodbury, among other brilliant people, in a house in Berkeley. We became fast friends and they went on to advise and support the nascent Polyethylene Pet. Erling helped me master the first Pet album “Smile” to cassette for release. They let me use their home to produce the recording and even played on a track or two.

However, what inspired me to meet them was their unique corporation/performance art piece called “Splendrix”.

I had been renting a house in Mendocino CA from Brian’s mom. She gave us a tape and, immediately, i fell in love with the Splendrix way of doing business. Later i went down, met them and, in a joint merger, co-produced their first and only album.

Splendrix was pure genius.
