Who actually wrote this record?...coz it's got "Shakespeare/Kamen" on the sleeve...I didn't follow the earlier chat about the single so well but do the lyrics come from some Shakespeare literature that, as it would seem, Patrick Kamen (he worked with Bryan on "Bete Noire" didn't he and he has some connection with Madonna as well)...was it all written (I mean apart from the lyrics if Shakespeare did write them!) especially for this recording 2. Please forgive me for saying this but on listening to it for the first time BF's voice doesn't exactly sound so smooth as it usually does???!!! Hmm, I dunno...fittingly emotional but not up to his usual standards???...maybe I need to listen to it a bit more 3. And how does Shakin Stevens come into the story? Is HE still going by the way???!!! By the wayz anyone got any info about his "imminent" new album...or is it another seven year itch like the last time???!!! And finally I thought it might be a nice gesture for the subscribers to this "fan club" to send a message of condolence to Lucy Ferry on the death of her father...if anyone wants to send a message via me I will compile them and send them on to their home address which I have on behalf of us Byee Michael - ---------- | From: Garratt, Chris | To: 'avalon@smoe.org' | Subject: RE: [AVALON] tribute album | Date: 03 December 1997 17.24 | | | | >---------- | >From: MCGINLEY GA[SMTP:McGinley-GA@ulst.ac.uk] | >Sent: 01 December 1997 20:04 | >To: avalon@smoe.org | >Subject: [AVALON] tribute album | > | >Went straight into town this morning to here the song.

The writer is prejudiced against Bryan I believe and obviously still thinks of him as only a lounge lizard. Boring! I think that the song is very sincerely done and not world weary sounding at all! My 2 cents, Janeen - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V2 #57 *************************** ======================================================================== Please send any questions or comments about the list to avalon-digest-owner@smoe.org
