Sure it would have been better if Bryan got through more questions and / or there was a video link, but for a first attempt it was good. I posted about three questions in advance and at least six on the night - mainly picking up on some of the answers - trying to be as interactive as possible. It was one of these that was answered so, to anyone who had doubts - "yes" the event was 'live' and questions posted on the night were taken. It was good to see so many familiar names being successful and so many imaginative / witty questions and answers. The impression the official site gives me is that questions posted to the site under "Your Questions" will be answered periodically outside of any future webchats so this may be a forum for getting answers in the future. As for Bryan claiming not to know about this list - I believe this entirely. Bryan's past dislike for the Internet is fairly well documented - I'm confident he's probably only got involved from the point at which the decision was taken that an official site was essential and even then to just oversee the design and content. I find it hard to believe that anyone would think Bryan has the time or inclination to wade through the huge amounts of mail we generate - it's like a full time job for us sometimes never mind someone like Bryan who (currently at least) has huge demands on his time. Don't forget this is just one medium - Jim Lawn gets four big deliveries of mail a day not to mention the stuff that undoubtedly finds its way to management direct and the personal, non - fan mail Bryan will get. Past (and any future) speculation that Bryan reads this - or even contributes - is, I feel, simply fanciful.

Indeed there is, although it's actually called "The Small Frogs". It's a kind of dance/game-song in the folkmusic tradition, mostly for children. We sing and dance The Small Frogs around the Xmas tree and on Midsummer's Eve, when we have a kind of Midsummer's Pole (decorated with leaves and flowers) outside. There a lots of other songs/dances in the same manner. To my knowledge, Bryan Ferry has never danced the frogdance, but perhaps he will surprise his Swedish audience on Feb 4.

From what I hear he can spout Franglais but not Netspeak. The question was: "Jim Lawn does know a lot about BF/RM. There are also a lot of people on the "Avalon" newsgroup who have incredible knowledge. Are you aware of this newsgroup?" Bryan: "This is the first I've heard of it." BF is no netizen, how does he know what a "list" or a "newsgroup" might be? Methinks if the question had been something like "Has anyone told you about the internet fan group who talk about Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry constantly?" he might have had to admit that he *had* heard something. Anyway the question is moot; if he is getting a copy of "A Perfumed Sigh" he's about to be enlightened.

Dear Frank: "The Sorrows Of Satan" or The Strange Experience Of One Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire. A Romance by Marie Corelli, my copy is the forty-fifth edition, 1902. Chapter One, opening lines - "Do you know what it is to be poor? Not poor with the arrogant poverty complained of by certain people who have five or six thousand a year to live upon, and who yet swear they can hardly manage to make both ends meet, but really poor, - downright, cruelly, hideously poor, with a poverty that is graceless, sordid and miserable? Poverty that compels you to dress in your one suit of clothes till it is worn threadbare, - that denies you clean linen on account of the ruinous charges of washerwomen, - that robs you of your own self-respect, and causes you to slink along the streets vaguely abashed, instead of walking erect among your fellowmen in independent ease, - this is the sort of poverty I mean." The novel is about the covert seduction (not sexual) of Geoffrey Tempest who is introduced to and schooled in the finer things of life by a most mysterious, socially powerful Prince Lucio Rimânez "who if he had looked handsome by night looked still more so by day,". Tempest is transported from poverty to affluence while being transformed in soul until he is nearly, absolutely absorbed by Satan himself. The author puts forth a very interesting proposition concerning Satan, perhaps he is not entirely evil, perhaps he is captive, duty bound by God to forever roam the physical, and corrupt it. Perhaps Satan's sorrows... I've already given too much story line away. It has been several years since I read this novel. Perhaps it was the slowly combusting pages burning away mold that affected my brain but I still consider my reading of "The Sorrows Of Satan" to have been time very well spent. I doubt the book is in print, but I've never checked. I suppose a good library would have a copy available. I recommend this novel.

I would venture that this so-called "target market" has already purchased everything that was for "sale" regarding these "goods" and that any "market research" done here is a waste of money.

I find it hard to believe that Mr. Ferry would spend a great deal of time thinking about this list. In fact, I find it hard to believe that he spends a great deal of time thinking about his fans, hard-core and ardent or otherwise. And certainly you do not mean it when you refer to this tiny mailing list as Mr. Ferry's "market"? Certainly he has his sights sent much higher than the few of us gathered here. Also, I don't find the fact that he didn't recognize the description of the list implausible. Lots of smart people don't know anything about the Internet, and if you read USENET you will see that lots of dumb ones have no trouble at all getting online. > On the other hand, let's throw caution to the wind and take Bryan Ferry > at his word; let things fall as they may and briefly examine the > assumption that Ferry only first heard of the Avalon list during the > chat.

Actually, given what goes on here, I think on the whole we are rather fortunate to have escaped his notice. Let us pray that such inattention continues. I'm on another mailing list where the object of such considered attention was lurking for a while. He didn't necessarily come away from it with an exalted opinion of his online fans. And so what? These types of lists exist for the fans, not the artists. As for his opinion of triviality of this "target market," please consider this: there are approximately what--350 people here? And what--83% buy whatever he releases anyway? So tell me again why we're such an important "constituency"?
