Dear List,

I apologise if this isn't kosher -- but I have JStor access through =20
my university and have saved this file in .PDF format. For academic =20
and educational purposes, I would be willing to send the files =20
through email to any list member who, for scholarly interest, would =20
find the article useful. I appreciate that this might be in =20
contravention of some rule or another, but I don't see why sharing =20
this information would be an abuse of the system. The article is =20
from 1977, and the odds of finding a MN issue that old is quite =20
slim. If you did, one could photocopy it. I see distributing the =20
files no differently.

Anyway, if that offends someone -- no offense intended. Personally, =20
I'd be overjoyed to hear if people found my own articles of =20
sufficient interest to share.

I'm sure it has been mentioned already, but both of Christopher =20
Blasdel's books -- The Single Tone and Shakuhachi: A Manual for =20
Learning -- include details on komoso history and contemporary suizen.

Happy blowing,
-Sean Somers
