  2. Bozo played with Kowald at a couple of shows in the early 80s, he was quite a character, and a very cool guy! Liked HARD bread, and a hearing him practice in our room while fixing breakfast was an honor we won't forget!
    Never even knew about this album, had no idea he played with Togashi, so very excited to hopefully hear it soon, wow!

  4. Wow. Interesting. I love Togashi. And Kowald...well, it doesn't get any better. He was a genius. Not big on Newton though, so this one will be a bit of a challenge for me!

  5. Thank you. I looked at the comments and thought how funny it is that many people think about Kowald in connection with food. He helped out at Visionfest one year by serving borsht and I think that was the only time I spoke with him. He is still much missed here in NYC.
