Lloyd Wolf / Nethers VA by Paul Corbit Brown. Time time time.

 SX-70 photo of me by Paul Corbit Brown at the cabin in Nethers, Virginia. Late 1980's. A time & a place. All times and places contain an infinity of charms, mysteries, and travails, galaxies of meaning and memory. Thanks, brother Paul. - #tohellwithhashtags.

 I was in a band of sorts, back in yon years of yore.

Peter & the Noisemakers, backstage, HB Woodlawn School, Arlington VA, at the "Anti-Disco Bash" Nov. 2, 1979. We were under-rehearsed, loud, frantic, vaguely amusing. Avant-noise.
