I guess there's no harm in putting questions in advance, just the possibility that it won't come to anything.

Great information, great reports... The excitement is building up... Cheers, Stephen tmoq schrieb: Thanks to EVERYONE who presented a review. This is very exciting, especially to those of us who`ve been on the list since the beginning. There was a time when a post would only appear every couple of weeks or so and the hope of a reunion was like a hope to win the lottery. The best we could hope for back then was that someone subscribed to the list with a better quality bootleg than we already had. Cheers.

S8^) JF - I've had a look at my copy of 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' (yes, yes, I know - but hey, I have no street cred to lose...!) for Andy Mackay's likeness and now that you mention it, it does *kind of* look like it *might* have been based on him. Then again, we're talking about a drawing that looks like someone's O-level Art project (complete with crayon). It's certainly not intended to be him - this character's playing a hideous mongrel guitar (like the b*stard son of a Flying V and a Les Paul with a Firebird headstock). Ghastly. BTW I may have missed it, but no-one seems to have mentioned the fact that both Elton and Bryan have something in common... They were both rejected by Robert Fripp as vocalists for King Crimson. EJ was originally booked to sing on 'In The Wake of Poseidon' for #250 but when Fripp heard Elt's first album, he cancelled the sessions. A bit too close for comfort if you ask me ...

How annoyed are you at the Roxy music reunion? Is it a cash cow? A. It's fine by me. I would'nt want to do it myself. I don't like performing much. , and I don't like doing something I did a long time ago. I'm sure the money is one of the incentives for doing it, but it may not be the only one. They have a huge catelogue for material and they spent a long time evolving it; that's reason enough to want to do it again. What would be good is if they took the riak to do something new. Six new pieces,say. Not very likely, but it would be nice. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 22:39:45 +0100 From: "Ivor Canning" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Jilted John Chris Turner, not only a madman across the water, but also a 21st century schizoid man : > For both of them I'd say...

Factoid. You are in fact 100% correct sir ! Just as I posted my previous comment, I was looking at the drawing again and noticed the hands were strangely posed for a guitarist and seemed oddly familiar. In fact, the figure's whole head, shoulders and torso are clearly taken from the FYP 'outtake' you mentioned (the one used as a promotional shot). In fact, it's the hands which are the real give-away - just too similar (and unusually positioned) to be mere coincidence. Regards, Ivor. n.p.
