Eeeerrrrrrrrr.... welll Id already finished Claws book..... and in the interim I had a gritty ride thru Andrew Locks Summit 8000 - a mediocre masterpiece vsv the spiritual-standard of the Messner & Kukukska efforts on the same theme ...I also red a book on rock n roll and learned that Jon Bonham and Bon Scott both drowned in vomit circa Jan 1980...

As for the KC book ... Im still hoping that Tempest -Child will do an AWESOME biography ...I think Kim is still too paralysed and traumitised by Serious Young Lizards to do it himself....Im seriosly considering offering Tempest-Child , 50 grand ....
thats $ 50000
thats fifty thousand dollars ... as a grant towards the project

Im thinkin : ' THE CARRIGAN YEARS - 1975 to 1985 - From Henry Barber to Wolfgang Gullich '

On of the reasons Claws book didnt make Brillient was the physical format - too cut and paste ... too small to do the photos justice ... and too scrapbook in tone ...

Here is KC on the final headwall above the roof
