I'm sorry for criticizing your story, It was actually quite good. I guess I was just irritated by all these references to Avalon (not at the top of my list from the Roxy catalogue). Needless to say, Ferry's done a pretty good job of brushing that Arthurian crap under the carpet... Regards from a fellow Californian, David *** Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

While trying to find out if Bryan Ferry's nomination for As Time Goes By was the first time he was ever nominated for a Grammy, I came across the following reference to a "media appearance" by Bryan Adams (who?) that featured the Maestro. Does anyone have any info on this?-- Title: Carnegie Hall Benefit Posted on: 16/02/1998 Bryan [Adams] will perform at New York's Carnegie Hall 24 March alongside special guests Bryan Ferry, Julliard School orchestra and more. Spearheaded by composer Michael Kamen (who also orchestrated on the MTV Unplugged CD and co-wrote "Everything I Do I Do It For You'), the benefit for Mr. Hollands Opus Foundation provides new & refurbished instruments for young musicians.

During the punk era he also had something to do with the the Vibrators (both producing and using them as a backing band for a coupla 45s on RAK Records). Prior to this he had a UK top 20 hit with 'Motorbikin'. He also played on the brilliant John Cale albums for Island in '74 - ''75 - 'Fear', 'Slow Dazzle' & 'Helen of Troy' and toured with Cale for those albums. All of this time he had a strange double life - donning a furry suit on Top of the Pops. gary sanders ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2001 20:07:20 -0400 From: David Neuhaus Subject: Re: [AVALON] Bryan Ferry and Carnegie Hall? The concert was canceled right before the show was to happen. Imagine my surprise (and subsequent anger) when I walked up to Carnegie Hall the night of the show to find "Postponed" banners over the marquee posters! The ad was still running in The New York Times the day before. Luckily I had bought my tickets at the CH box office and was able to get a complete refund, rather than losing money (for non-refundable shipping & handling charges, service charges, we'll allow you to buy from us you lowly scum and give you lousy seat charges) from Ticketmesster. Oh, sorry - off on a rant! Anyway, still waiting for this Kamen/Ferry/Adams show to be rescheduled. Guess Roxy will have to do in it's place!
