Pon-y-mail [Erv Wilson]

I would like a little more information regarding Erv Wilson's background
and life. He was obviously a person who didn't like a lot of
distracting influences -- maybe a kind of modern Thoreau?? I was
particularly fascinated by the following quote, which accompanies the
Combination Product Set document we have recently been studying on the
list:

Erv Wilson:

"A keyboard program that embodies all of the Combination Product Sets on
the bottom row of figures 3 & 19 was accomplished by September 1974,
from my adobe house in Pacheco, Chihuahua, and mailed by pony to John
Chalmers for Xenharmonicon II..."

Now there's a man who doesn't want excessive external influences!
Forget e-mail... Try pon-y-mail!
