Talk:Wildgirl

Reviving the Page
Re-adding this “Wildgirl” page because she was an influential player in NYC 1980s/1990s underground culture. Hopefully trimming it down and focusing on what can be properly cited will allow thus iteration of the article to stay put. Based on the original text as found on Deletionpedia. --Giacomo1968 (talk) 03:47, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

I just uploaded a photo to Wikicommons. It's titled EdBigDaddyRothandWildgirl.1991 ~ so if anyone can attach it to the page it would be very much appreciated. (I tried, unsuccessfully.) Atco90 (talk) 17:12, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank *you* Giacomo! I have a setlist link for you which includes an audio link to the archived Wildgirl guest appearance/interview on Michael Shelley's show in Aug. 2008. It was part of WFMU'S Radio Greats Reunion weekend, Michael asked the questions & Wildgirl told stories & chose the music. Atco90 (talk) 04:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
