Decades long Firesign Theater fan here looking foreword to your book. Their line, and the title of your Substack continues to prove that life imitates (their) art.
I was so excited to stumble across this book (in the Univ of Cal ad in the New York Review of Books). I was one of those nerds who got to college and found friends who had also memorized so much of the FT oeuvre that we could riff off each other.
So happy I found you! Thanks to the FB group! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/16KBRnY8cu/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Happy to have you here, Dave!
I first heard them about ‘75, age 16. My dealer had all of them that had been released.
An electrician actually came to his door and said “are you waiting for an electrician?”
The reply was a gimmee. 😂
Ha ha - not waiting anymore! I first got a few records from an uncle, when I was a bit younger. Into my early 20s I was still filling out the discography.

Memorization was a huge part of the experience, as you know. Hope you enjoy the book!
