Just listen to "Hush", their most famous early single. That sure isn't Gillian singing. Didn't Gillian arrive with the "Machine Head" album? Sorry for the off-topic digression.

He sang on "Hush". I had the Taliseyn album. They were more regal and artsy. "The Book of Taliesyn" was the name of the album. There was a song "Listen, Look, Read On" (or something) that had the Taliesyn reference. >> Yeah. It was good stuff. Not just your later DP headbanger material.

Anyway, is it offending or agressive to anyone chat about Bryan's children more than chatting about the World Cup, the Chicago Bulls or Deep Purple? On DP first line-up: the bassist was called Nick Simper, and together with Rod Evans they made a "blueish" aound. "Emaretta" and "Hallelujah" were their biggest pieces, as far as I remeber.

Assuming that you're talking about the Italian film from 1988, here's what the Interenet Movie database has to say about the actress: Demetra Hampton Actress filmography (1990s) (1980s) 1.Last Resort (1994/I) ....

Jas, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the irrelevant. My only point is that whether it's a famous singer or actress, Bill Clinton or Princess Diana, they all made the decision to live in the public eye. Does being the kid of someone famous give the world the right to know what they do and who they're dating? ....As for the Bulls, although I can appreciate MJ and the gang, I could never have the love for them that you do. How could you expect me to? Or to even feel indifferent? Your team comes to my town and kicks the crap out of my team for years. Good for you, bad for me. .......And regarding meeting Bryan. do you think he would respond to talk about what a certain song is about or how is junior doing in Biology? Maybe he would. I don't know, but he seems like a very private man. Any time I got to meet a celebrity they were turned off if I started to talk about them, then that was the end. I got to know people better when I pretended I didn't know them. Sometimes the less questions you ask, the more answers you get. If I met Bryan I think I would say, "Bryan who? I thought you were Rudy Tomjonivitch." Then talk about Deep Purple and the World Cup.

"Emaretta" and "Hallelujah" were their biggest pieces, as far as I remeber..... I researched and found they did 3 albums with Evans, 4 with Gillian (Machine Head was his 3rd) and 3 with Coverdale. It is ironic that whenever they got a new singer, they got a new bass player. They reformed in the 80's with the 2nd lineup. Some alternative band covered "Hush" recently, I don't know who it was, but I thought they did it justice. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 18:08:27 -0000 From: "Decophile" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Lacombe, La.
