I know Collins is best known for his vocals, but he was also an excellent drummer. Listen to his work on Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)", "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science". FYI - Eno performed on the excellent Genesis album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". But, that's kind of like the Roxy debate. I'm a fan of the Gabriel fronted Genesis.

Well, that's the only time I've been to that board in almost a year and only the first post. What I saw didn't impress me -- well, obviously -- and the tone is even more like a schoolyard playground fight than this list ever gets. I thought the snide attacks at the Avalonians who spent time chatting with TGPT before and after the TOTP show were base and stupid. Fair's fair, one of their number did write me back this morning with nice things to say about my site, but it's such a shame the tone of that board is so incredibly negative. I mean, what the heck is the point of going to Bry's official site just to bitch about the TOTP show and spread a bunch of negative dirt about Bry's personality? Another of their number accused Avalonians of being too nice and too positive. Some of us even enjoyed the TOTP show and look forward to the tour.

Here a note from her website in which she keeps a kind of diary, this entry from January this year: "I also did a whole lot of radio, including a couple of pretty prominent national BBC shows. And something truly amazing happened as a result: Bryan Ferry (the incredible singer-songwriter formerly of Roxy Music) heard me sing a song live on one of the BBC shows (called "Woman's Hour") and hired me the very next day to sing on the album he's making!!! I felt like I was dreaming, I must say. He was incredibly sweet and he and his producer seemed to love what I sang. I had a cold that day and when I went back in 3 days later to sing some more Bryan ran into the studio to give me some Ricola cough drops he had bought especially for me! (I've been hardpressed to actually use them, because I kind of want to keep them as a souvenir.) I sang on 4 songs, and the album is supposed to come out in May." http://www.lucykaplansky.com/notes.html She has also been singing a version of More Than This in her live show, has a certain bass player called Zev Katz, and co-incidentally also did a version of It Ain't Me Babe for a Dylan tribute album. Note that she sang on four songs, which shows how productive BF was after last years tour. Regards Chris (who also sometimes listens to Woman's Hour...) ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 03:18:43 +0100 From: "Chris Turner" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Lucy Kaplansky Here's an addendum, taken from Country Music International, March 2001: It was through a couple of radio shows that Lucy came to the attention of Bryan Ferry, one of Britains most distinctive rock voices. Lucy was in the midst of her latest UK tour last December, when Ferry heard her on BBC Radio 2s Johnnie Walker Show and again on BBC Radio 4s Woman Hour. Ferry was so impressed with her live work for both shows that he set about making contact with Lucy. He was helped in his quest by bass player Zev Katz, who was playing in Ferrys band. The ex-Roxy Music singer was oblivious to the fact that Katz was a regular sideman for Lucy, and was moonlighting as her accompanist for the tour. With Zevs help, Ferry tracked Lucy down to Broadcasting House, where she was completing an interview with Lisa Barsi for BBC Wales The Four Star. Lucy was invited by Bryan to sing backing vocals on his new album. The singer sent a car to Broadcasting House to take Lucy to the RAK studios in St. Johns Wood where he was recording. Lucy was somewhat overcome with emotion at the thought of meeting Bryan Ferry. I was almost completely speechless when Bryan phoned, says an incredulous Lucy.  I mean, Ive been a big Roxy Music fan forever. I just couldnt believe it. When I got round to the studio, I was shaking. Really. I was shaking all over. You just dont believe that these things will happen. Lucy put her voice down on three tracks and returned to the studio in January to record two more tracks. She still finds it all quite unbelievable. There she was, this relatively unknown singer-songwriter meeting Johnnie Walker, Jenni Murray and Bryan Ferry, all in 48 hours of a packed promotion tour. Just to add a little cream, Glenda Jackson walked into hospitality at Woman s Hour, to which Lucy responded, no, it cant be. You never know who you will meet on the road, sometimes you just cant believe your eyes. Ferrys as-yet untitled album, is due for release on Virgin Records this summer.
