Hi Jean-Louis,

In 1984, I formed a new wave rock band that I named Communism.
We rehearsed for a long time, but played out only once.  I wrote all the
lyrics and was the lead singer (at the request of the other band members,
who insisted I be in the band in addition to providing lyrics).

Is manioc like tapioca?  Where do you find it?  I've never seen any in NYC.
