It was accompanied by a Roneoed typescript translation of the hieroglyphics. He gave the poster to Sabina Brook who was staying there and Sabina passed it on to me when she left. I treasured it as it was a SILKSCREEN print and I wanted to go to college to learn how to do that. Lyn was very quiet and said he was a shaman and belonged to a society called "The Magic Mushroom".Typogramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063816270221067730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-61941440697214917902012-09-05T15:40:27.914+02:002012-09-05T15:40:27.914+02:00Thanks you for having written here.

The next time I saw him was on TV when he had transformed into a computer expert. Barry Miles in "London Calling" seems to think Lynn is a woman! I am currently researching for a Phd on 1960s arts. One of my themes will be the problems that arise when remembering this era, so it is interesting reading all your blogs!Clairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-72052272835450945522011-07-03T15:21:22.858+02:002011-07-03T15:21:22.858+02:00www.gettyimages.com/detail/3286452/Hulton-Archive?...www.gettyimages.com/detail/3286452/Hulton-Archive?Language<br /><br />More exploding galaxy<br /><br /><br />SteveStevehttp://explodinggalaxy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-67420622209072842632010-12-15T14:51:49.139+01:002010-12-15T14:51:49.139+01:00Hi Steve and Andy

I was also with them at the Roundhouse when they did the Hippopotamus Festival. I remember the piano frame, and the carton of ping pong balls that were cascaded over it. Fabulous times. I later founded The Shiny Bum Singers in Australia, so the ripples are still spreading. Would love to hear more of them.<br />Chris ClarkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-80495881717820437672010-05-12T06:57:35.781+02:002010-05-12T06:57:35.781+02:00Yes I knew Lyn Darnton.

I'd be interested in *any* recollections about them, whatsoever. I believe the guy from the Buddhist centre is the gut from the Tribe but I've emailed him twice over a period of a couple fo months so think he's probably not into discussing his past, which is a pity because this sort of stuff is a 'hidden history' of the counterculture which badly needs recording.Meugherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470438078694819298noreply@blogger.com
