I think "Devastating Dave" must have gone into politics. He might still be there, which means you have blackmail opportunities to earn an income.
I've been thinking about the people who had put out these albums. Obviously they did not have a record label footing most of the expense. And I doubt it was cheap, unlike publishing ebooks today.
Anyways, thanks for putting this series together. A book would be appropriate. And I would even say start reposting on Medium in a year's time.
Good luck on your hands' health. I'm kind of heading down the same path.
