Helene" IMHO, yes, it is. I only think that Boys & Girls deserves more attention than our biographer gave to it. Again, IMHO, RM's other musicians were little more than Ferry's soldiers of fortune - even if Manzanera and Mackay managed to compose some stuff (maybe at a ratio 9:1 compared to Ferry's output). Eno did not do even this little - one of the reasons why I think he is greatly overestimated concerning his RM's years, even if I do like his solo stuff. This is one think I find amazing - although RM was always and unmistakably Ferry business, his solo work, with the possible exception of "The bride stripped bare", never got stylistically confused with the band. Again, this is only my personal opinion. I hope everyone is having great Roxy holidays. Have a wonderful '99! Vicente - coming back in January 2nd - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 08:26:35 -0500 From: "Angel Colon" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Avalonaward Hello there, Just what video project is Hans referring to?
