Headline: Great people, interesting sounds, great stuff from BF Let's start with a brief physical description (as requested) of the assorted Avalonians. In the absence of any photographic evidence to contradict (er, I mean, corroborate) me, we represented the most resplendent example of handsome, suave-yet-rugged manhood you are ever likely to see. No wonder people stood and stared, pointing at us with their jaws dropped. (Martin's charming, RM-tolerant wife, Joanne was an added bonus, injecting even more glamour into the proceedings). It was a relief to discover that the people we correspond with via email are such good fun in person too. John O'B's legendary generosity has already been mentioned by others, but for the record: - thanks a lot for the CDs John - they're excellent. I enjoyed the gig overall. A lot of acts played some really good stuff, and I know I would not have ordinarily bought tickets to such an event, so this was a pleasant surprise. As for BF and the banjo. I really liked the first track (Bahi's description was very good BTW) which was a very unusual blend of Chance-meeting-esque voice (muffled a bit by the sound staging/mixing), banjo and searing acid guitar. Excellent dark lyrical theme too. The title escapes me (was this Waggoner's Lad?). The next song was called "John Hardy". I didn't get into this one on the night. I look forward to Andy's recording, because it may be a grower. As for the various "Creep Throat" reports (only kidding, I thought the guy was generous with his time and views)... Lots of conjecture, some data (most of which already posted here). The main thing is confirmation of two albums in the can. The self-penned album being described as "very good, it can be fixed". Mmm. What needs to be fixed? If "fixing" means making it more mainstream, then I would call that vandalism - let the man do what he wants, I say. The days of platinum discs are gone - let's just get good, new sounds out into the shops. Also "fixing" sounds like another expensive year of studio time. BTW, Jim Lawn mentioned 53 songs completed, many of which, obviously, not contained on the two albums. An excellent evening then. Having just returned from holiday, thinking that the gig was taking place the following day, I was reading the latest postings that Friday only to be reminded that the concert was to play that very night. This happened 5 minutes before my latest feasible departure time - now that was a disaster narrowly averted. Great to meet you all - till next time, Robert PS. I notice the corporate trend towards adding legal disclaimers to the end of emails. My own work-email does the same. So as to fit in, I will add my own disclaimer here: The information, statements and opinions expressed in this email are subject to my standard terms of business.

But that, I don't remember the guy's name, Hinkley guy who shot Lennon was undoubtedly trying to kill YoYo. She is a cruel joke being played on the rest of the universe. Was just watching Amnesty Int. concert, the one where she appears and does Imagine. It's like she's doing her thing and it sucks BAD, but she's confident and carries on like a trooper, basking in her moment of glory...and she's going on and it sucks but she's going with it, getting a little more confident...she's a star...let's give 'em some of the old magic, what they are really here for, and she starts doing that Porpoiseish, humpback whalesongish thing and I WANT TO KILL HER...just too bad he didn't take up some firearm safety courses or hit the target range a little more often...AND THE WORLD WOULD BE AS ONE, IMAGINE, THANK YOU FOLKS, THANK YOU.

(sobbing). I saw the Hinkley story onA&E last week. When John anounced he was doing a new album all the major label executive rump swaps began bum kissing immedialtly, money flying everywhere, but they went w/ Geffen for much less doe.Why? Because David Geffen told Yoko "What the other labels don't understand is that we actually have TWO great artists here, not just one" I hate that guy for doing that.
