   Anyone heard of these guys?  I have an album by them which is
called "Play Rhythm Music" and consists of outtakes from the score of
APOCALYPSE NOW.  I became interested in their music after watching the
13-part TV series "Vietnam: A Television History" over a year ago; the
theme was composed by them, and it really intrigued me.  I figured it
would be on "Play..." but it's not and I'd really like to get ahold 
of a copy if it exists somewhere on vinyl.  I had a pretty hard time finding
"Play ..." and hence anticipate problems with finding the disc that has
the "Vietnam..." theme on it.  For those of you who have never heard their
music -- the Rhythm Devils are primarily Mickey Hart and Billy Kreutzmann
(sp?) from the Grateful Dead, along with Zakir Hussain (sp?), Airto (sp?), and
a couple other percussionists; I think Phil Lesh also plays on "Play..."
Any info. would be appreciated...


thanks,
