I did have Sue Anderson do that survey to get some data from our artists in the field" (22 May 1977). His letter of 20 November 1970 sends thanks and encouragement: "Many thanks indeed for your most interesting observations on rock music, drugs, sonic, and exteriorization. I'm glad to add them to our data on the subject. Your book will cause quite a stir in musical circles. It will open a door for many and will I'm sure open many doors to you. All success to you! Love, Ron." On 22 June 1976 he thanks Feninger for a performance: "I'm glad you wrote.
