That by the way is one of the great stories of why the WELL was/is a real community. It would be great to hear you tell it someplace.

6:04 is Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld AKA Dr. Hip-pocrates, (the original doctor who gave advice via the media - the Berkeley Barb in the 60s.)

6:41 is Anna Couey from Art Com (she and her colleagues were hugely important and generally underrated contributors to WELL culture).

Others in the background include me (blowing up a balloon), Bob Ulias, David Gault, Andy Beals, Alan Chamberlain and Elliot Fabric.

This tape was dubbed from a VHS tape I got from the late Blair Newman who had arranged the shoot (for a BBC thing that never happened). I kept it in a box for 19 years until I digitized it last month.

There is more on it - maybe Howard will put other bits out there at some point.

Yo bobert!

#19 is right. The 'talking tape' is indeed a strip that you pull your thumbnail across to get a phonograph-like sound. It attaches to a card that serves as a sound board. You of course have to get the speed right so the voice sounds human.

I last saw one in the late 50s when my brother got a get well card. It was a photo of James Garner as Brett Maverick and when you pulled the tape it said "please get well!"
