Have to disagree with this one--I saw BbB performed live in Oakland in 1987, and it pretty much brought the crowd to a halt. Mesmerized, we was. Stuck in my head for quite awhile...made waiting for the release of AAMB all the more torturous!

Clif! Actually, this idea was Monya's. She asked for us all to announce ourselves. Well that and a dream TD songlist. I guess I didn't say much for the first one... so here goes; I'm John Neil aka bug aka buggy aka bugsy aka hoag aka B.J. aka Neil aka sure sleeps-alot aka you shut up! I live in Grand Rapids, MI. I like it here because it's home and Lake Michigan is 30 minutes away. The dunes at our cottage (Port Sheldon... on Lake Michigan) remind me of The Golden Age Of Wireless and The Flat Earth entirely. Especially when there's a breeze. I'm a keyboardist/synthesist in 2 local bands - "Troll For Trout" and "Bacchus Jihad"... the first, alternative rock like Prefab Sprout/Toad The Wet Sprocket, the second experimental electronic music like later U2/early Skinny Puppy. I vocalize on the second. I first was intrigued by TD when I read an interview with him in "Keyboard" magazine when he talked about how he put together "The Golden Age Of Wireless" and the synthesis techniques. I later bought that and kinda liked it. In 1984 I bought "The Flat Earth" and slowly worked it up into a musical 'bible'... and then added on "The Golden Age Of Wireless" in regular sonic form. After a while, I'd be listening to both every night in me cans. The rest... I know of no near landmarks. The nearest famous people to me are my friends, which includes everyone here! My big dream out of life is to live on the music I make. Um, and to be Thomas Dolby's keyboardist for a tour or 2 (thousand). I guess that summs it up... - -John ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V1 #16 **************************
