I was wondering if anyone out there knows who sings on Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay's "Up in smoke" album. Is it anyone else than themselves? My brother suspected it to be Andy Bell (!), and we only have the thing on tape and no sleeve to consult in the matter. It couldn't possibly be Andy Bell could it?? Please help if you can.

I'd serve whatever he was polite enough to bring with him. I don't even have time to cook for myself these days, let alone guests. 2. I'd play Jimmy Scott, "Dream" or anything by David Bowie. 3. I'd wear my Laurie Partridge costume. 4. I'd like him to wash my kitchen floor and scrub my bathtub. Right now, those are my fondest wishes. Extra credit: who got the David Lynch joke from last week? You will need to explain it to me get full credit, of course.

I would love to be the fly on that wall for her dinner. And she gets her mate to do the cleanup!!!! I'm impressed. Again if Bry or his associates are reading this, let us know. Jas PS to Graham: Rudy T. Of the Houston Rockets looks uncanninly like Bryan. That's where the connection is. I hope you are familiar with Basketball, if not then this reference is obscure. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V3 #25 *************************** ======================================================================== Please send any questions or comments about the list to avalon-digest-owner@smoe.org
