Philip Lithman and N. Senada live appearances, 1971

Around 1970 to 1971, English guitarist Philip Charles Lithman began performing live at Monday night open mic shows at small nightclubs around San Francisco. For around "three or four" of these performances, Lithman was accompanied by the Bavarian music theorist N. Senada.Homer Flynn (interviewed by Sean Kitching), "The Strange World Of... The Residents - Homer Flynn Interviewed", The Quietus, February 9th 2016 At these appearances, the duo likely performed compositions such as Lithman's "Cantaten to der Dyin Prunen"."At the time when, uh, Snakefinger was first in San Mateo with The Residents and The Mysterious N. Senada, he was performing ["Cantaten to der Dyin Prunen"], um... with The Mysterious N. Senada, and then he recorded it later..." Homer Flynn, VPRO radio interview, 1988
Following these appearances, Senada performed as a solo act at some of these nightclubs, around "half a dozen times". These performances eventually culminated in the first guerrilla-style group performance by Residents, Uninc., at The Boarding House in San Francisco on October 18th 1971, followed by a second performance at Lithman's green card wedding in Arcata on Halloween night.
To date, no pictures, audio or videotape footage from these performances has surfaced publicly, and the specific dates and locations of the appearances are not known, though the performances have occasionally been mentioned by representatives of The Residents. 
The short-lived musical duo of Lithman and Senada appeared once more in a live radio broadcast on Arcata radio station KHSC on October 30th 1971. Senada would not appear again as a solo live act until August 1987, when he made his last known public appearance at the private "Snakey Wake" memorial party held in San Francisco, following the death of Lithman from a heart attack at the age of 38.
