Erwin, I still think that if you could find an avenue to get it into Thomas Tull's hands, there'd be a decent chance he'd be interested in making a project out of it. I doubt there's a billionaire in the world more passionate about the Stones than him, and if he found it interesting as a project he wouldn't care about expense, he'd just put people on it and order it

As a '72 tour veteran I still have hope that somebody with the resources to will work with Erwin and turn his labor of love into the basis for a formally published book.
