If you have 'come upon this place by lost ways' and don't know who John Cipollina was, take a look at Mike Somavilla's biography in the notes to the Problem Child album, or go to the John Cipollina web site which has more information.
Mailing Lists:
There are 2 mailing lists which discuss John and his music:
| Yahoo: | CIPOLLINA |
| "Discussion, audio and video tape trading, stories, memories of the late great Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar player and his brilliant 25 year career." | |
| MSN: | Cip & Quick |
| "Dedicated to the vining and trading of John Cipollina,
Quicksilver Messenger Service, and related bands and artists. Our goal is to seed shows only from the best available sources. To maintain the integrity of the shows we seed, we have established a system of permavines (which we define as passing the original disc along the vine for copying each stop along the way). At Cip & Quick, we will not be weeding shows (passing along copies that are in turn passed along to others)." |
Downloading the music:
Legal downloads of some shows featuring John Cipollina can be found in the Live Music Archive section of The Internet Archive, under John Cipollina, Dinosaurs, and Zero.
