They quickly set up an appointment and I visited them in New Jersey to demonstrate my application. When I arrived I was surprised to be meeting with a group of obviously high level Japanese executives, whose curiosity had been piqued by my description of interactive music visuals on disc. Although they didn't find an application for that work, one of them, Akio Mihara, was very interested by my photographic book, which I showed them almost as an afterthought. He was a fan of The Band, and recognized that there would be an audience for an electronic version of it. After passing around out several copies of my book, he was able to sell the company on the project.
Life is interesting.
Several years earlier, Alice Linz, moved into a cabin across the road from us in Woodstock. We invited her over one night for a neighborly visit. Upon discovering my 60's photographs, she championed them to her father, the publisher of Continuum, for a book. He agreed to publish Woodstock Vision, The Spirit of A Generation upon which this CD-ROM is based. When life is ready, it comes to you.
