It is not a very favourable one! 'Frantic' only gets 2/10 and the reviewer's final remark is 'rotten'. I take it from this that he or she is not a fan! I can't wait till Monday to listen to it in its entirety, all I've heard so far are snippets but I'm very impressed. I should have pointed out that the review is on Teletext on page 454.

I totally agree with your thoughts on "Dont Think Twice", Mr F. at his absolute best, a terrific performance. My only dislike on the whole album is "Goodnight Irene" - in my opinion it`s dross. His worst cover of a song since "Amazing Grace" on "Taxi". I can`t listen to it and actually skip it - unusual for me. Is he trying to recreate a "Carrickfurgus"?

I can't seem to find one, even on the venue's own site. It's been over 20 years since I saw a show there, and need a memory jog. Thanks, gang - looks like I'll grace the Oct 23rd show with my presence! ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 19:34:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Colleen Matan Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ferry in USA ??

Paula I don't think all of the overseas shows have sold out, so if you're truly worried that there might not be a North American Ferry tour for Frantic, certainly it's worth the 50USD or so it'd cost to book a ticket. There's no need to book a flight yet (actually, it'd be pretty silly to book a transatlantic flight at summer prices), and voila! Problem solved. It'd be easy I'm sure to sell the ticket as well if it weren't needed. Me, I'm not worried. And if Mr. Ferry doesn't make it here this winter, my life will go on.

I'd only go to that sort of expense if I could get very, very good tickets though. Anyway, I will probably just wait and be patient because I cannot imagine that Ferry would not tour the U.S. December would be a great time, actually, so I hope that rumor develops!

For the second time in six weeks Bryan was in Norway again! He appeared in a 50 minutes beloved talkshow, with five other people, two wellknown actresses, a politician, a scientist and a beer expert (I think) and Bryan joined them the last 15 minutes, looking wonderful and pretty relaxed in his dark grey Dior suit and black shirt. Very stylish! He ended the show by singing Don't Think Twice.. with Colin by the piano. I have got a new email address: karsol2@online.no exit kariso!
