Here is Rick Cobian a close friend of Marilyn and Kenny Reed who sing and play Jazz. The Reeds introduced me Rick who tells me he knows people who could make CDs of ‘The Birth of Venus’ . I gave a copy to Rena after learning from her schoolmate she was a choreographer. Here is my letter, and the short musical dance number I composed in 2008. Jay Koiwai is Rick’s friend. He produced several movies. We exchanged ideas on alternative currencies. Many of the things I wrote Rena about, are discussed in this e-mail.
