Now, if I believed that Ferry's actions were governed by good management, fine judgement and shrewd commercial sense I would say that this is a good decision. After all, an October release would be straight after the Roxy tour, with no time to promote and prompting accusations of hanging on to the end of the Roxy bandwagon (not from us, I stress, but perhaps from those less knowledgeable). So, January 2002 makes sense - reasonable breathing space and time to get geared up for another tour next year (I'm probably drifting into dreamland here). BUT - isn't this the album we were promised would be released last year?? Yours (despairingly, but becoming resigned to the fact that she may never again hear new Ferry material!)

It's called Night Radio . Net (www.nightradio.net). Of course Roxy are firm favourites and theres a few versions of tracks on the playlist that may interest you. 1. Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) doing A Song for Europe. This is a well done version sticking with the original format. 2. J Shanks - To Turn You On- An unknown does a good version of the avalon track 3. J Talor (Ex Duran Duran) does a good job with Just Another High 4. bryan ferry- A Y2K version of Mother Of Pearl. I like this one from The Kevin Spacey Ordinary Decent Criminal OST. I usually know of all of Ferrys activities but I didn't discover this little gem until last week going for 6.99 in my local record store. Some of you will love it if you have never heard it. 5. Dance Away Live from Heart Still Beating - Well youve all heard this one Regards Bryan ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 May 2001 16:23:46 EDT From: ASchulberg@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy songs In a message dated 05/06/2001 3:59:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time, sleezecorp@eircom.net writes: > 1.

Not only in the 50s, but throughout the 60s and 70s as well. I have fond memories of my parents putting us in our pajamas, piling us in the car, and taking us to the drive-in. And then continuing to go throughout high school. I was in western Pennsylvania last summer and I seem to remember a drive-in in that area. And I haven't driven north on Rte. 8 in Connecticut in ages, but I remember a drive-in north of Waterbury on the way to Torrington? For a while it showed porno movies and my parents would tell us not to look as we went by (like that was going to happen).
