Artis the Spoonman - Wrapping it up

Project title:

SPOONMAN (The Myth/The Legend)
By Artis the Spoonman

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Background/Retrospective:
I want  to create a retrospective package of 45 years of being Artis the Spoonman.
Initially I’m going to do an audio recording of several innovative compositions with and without words. With and without rigid structure. With some certainly fine musicians.
I’ve been performing since 1972 from the sidewalks of Seattle to Alice Tully Hall on Broadway; from the sidewalks of Tokyo to the David Letterman Show; from the beaches of Bali to the celebrated feature of a Grammy Award-winning, multi platinum record and MTV video of the Soundgarden hit, SPOONMAN 1994.
I have performed with and/or for such great musicians as;

• Aerosmith 
• Ravi Shankar
•Pete Seeger
• Taj Mahal, Laurie Anderson, Ian Anderson, John McLaughlin …
• Steve Goodman, Frank Zappa, Zakir Hussein, Ramblin Jack Elliot, Seattle Jim Page, Utah Phillips, Alice DiMichele, Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra and so many more . . .
Appeared on:
• The Gong Show 1976 (Does anyone know how to obtain any video footage of this?)
• David Letterman 1990
• Shields and Yarnell Show 1977 (Does anyone know how to obtain this footage? - it was an Al Lowenstien production at CBS studios in Fairfax/Los Angeles, on or about 21 April 1977). It’s hella story including Kesey, Rahsaan, hitching from Santa Cruz to Eugene, Reverand Chumleigh and the Flaming Zucchini . . ..
• Paul Daniels London, UK 1985
• Blue Peter, Kent, UK 1985
• Northern Half Newscast, New Zealand 1988 (Haven’t purchased DVD of it yet at $50?)
And many more globally
