With Jeff Lynne rejoining the group, others have dropped out and everyone is wondering who will fill who`s shoes on the tour. Personally, I really don`t care who they get to play the part as long as they do it well. I have nothing against Lucy joining the tour as she did a great job on the ATGB tour. But can she play synthesizer or will they have to bring someone else in for that? In any case, I would hope she (or ???) would at least be given a moment to shine with something like A Really Good Time or.......

According to the liner notes to the unfairly underestimated "In Your Mind" she is responsible for the *superb* string arrangements on that album (and, I believe, on most of Ferry's solo albums of that period). The use of strings at the end of "Love Me Madly Again" is the absolute best synthesis of "classical" and rock instruments ever attempted. In that regard, Ann O'Dell could be said to have picked up Eddie Jobson's mantle for Ferry's solo career. Further proof that Ferry knows how to pick his collaborators . . . >As for your other question about any female musicians >on tour with Ferry, Ann O'Dell played keyboards on the "In Your Mind" tour. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 06:54:44 -0700 From: William Sommers Subject: Re: [AVALON] Some Questions At 08:40 AM 4/26/01 -0400, ASchulberg@aol.com wrote: >> Actually no, not really.

It was a dark and windy night.....seriously! Thanks to my wonderful friend Rex Ray, who got me tickets through his connections, we sat in the seventh row center, which was perfect. When I finally got over my good fortune at even being there, I fell spellbound under the magic of Roxy and those wonderful songs he sang. The audience obviously knew little of Roxy Music; when the opening chords of Bittersweet and even Do The Strand began, there were only about a dozen of us in the audience who went nuts. What a terrific birthday present. Bryan was beyond even Bryan, he was that fabulous. Thanks for bringing it all back to me.

I'm just floating an idea, but I don't want to follow through with it if anyone objects to it or has a better idea... There don't seem to be any webrings for Bry... at least, none of the big Roxy pages are on them. Yahoo lists rings for everybody from Frankie Valli to Fields of the Nephilim... heck, there's even a Gavin Friday webring, and I thought surely I was the only person on the planet who liked him. So, I'm more than happy to start up and maintain either a webring for Ferry pages, or, alternately, something like "The Avalonian Fan Ring" wherein everyone on the list who was interested could just link their own, non-Roxy pages. But I wanted to run it by the group first and first see if anyone thought either idea was worth anything, or if anyone had better ideas or was already planning to do one.

Put them all on the table so we can settle this once and for all" doesn't exist in Roxy. Instead, there's something else at work. And women aren't absent from Roxy. They make up a lot of the subject matter and are a constant thematic presence, and I don't know that having a woman on stage can wreck that. Now, if you're talking about authenticity, well, this tour has already been shackled by Eno's refusal to take part (I won't even delve slightly into the various anorak definitions which could be used to construe an "authentic" reunion.) You can't step into the same river twice, and as I have said from the beginning, this won't be like the first time you saw Roxy. It doesn't mean it won't be good. It just means Heraclitus knew what he was talking about. > > Which is to say: how do you know you won't like something you've > > never had? > > By the way, your retort above is exactly what my mother used to say > upon presenting unknown and suspicious looking vegetables.

He is sounding BETTER than ever and I think it is to his credit that he added Jennifer Baiten as "second" guitar. Kudos' to her! She BURNED and almost matched him note for note. Kudo's to her. Real guitar junkies, such as myself, felt every note and nuiance-organic or not. I saw his show here in Chicago in March and I was in awe of him ( always was). He's still got it and is miles beyond most of the competition out there. Yeah it's too bad Jennifer Baiten is a female. She should learn to be more "lady-like". More Jeff Beck. I heard someone on XRT mention Jeff touring here again but joining him on the tourwbill will be.. King Crimson!!!. Anyone heard of this pairing yet? I know for me, that show will be like being in guitar heaven. I do agree with the coment about the Sirens-at least how they sounded on Viva. I did not see that tour that they were on, so I really can't pass a complete judgement. However, as for the female singers Bryan employed later especially on the Bete' Noir tour, they were fabulous- and on key. Bryan's very savy so if he needs female voices to add to the rich aura of the music, then we as fans will be richer for it. I had a thought. What if Johnette Napolitano were to show up at one of the US gigs, then she could duet with Bryan on End of the Line. I loved the Concrete Blond version which btw TGPT played on.
