And it's a fantastic name for a band. SimonG - ------------------------------------- A good name for a band?! yeah... I was just thinking the other day I should form a band and call it European Solar Energy or maybe American Burger Calories or something similar, damn I hate to be beaten to it LOL :-) Chris ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 08:58:32 -0400 From: KB Porter Subject: Re: [AVALON] You Can Dance (YCD) Johnny, thank you for helping out on YCD lyrics. "From Reno" perfectly completes the "down to Vegas" line, a real natural. But the "Jesmond Dene" is a master stroke on your part! It has lead me to a 'new discovery' (read below, please) and thereby neatly wraps a parcel of some Ferry past localities. I like your ears!!! Best wishes. KBP "Jesmond Dene is 1 mile east of Newcastle city centre... A Victorian park in a wooded valley, There is a deep ravine with picturesque planting, a waterfall and a water mill. The park was presented to the city by Lord Armstrong in 1883 as an act of philanthropy. It forms an interesting comparison with Lord Armstrong's own estate at Cragside. Victorian philanthropists liked to provide town dwellers with something of their own pleasures." Jesmond Dene Garden Address: Jesmond Dene, Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England, 0191 281 0973. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 09:20:30 -0400 From: KB Porter Subject: Re: [AVALON] You Can Dance (YCD) "(How Ferry-esque! - Anton)" Excellent, Anton! These lyrics are adding a lot more texture to YCD - I've always believed that Mr. Ferry's lyrics are written with much thought and sophistication. - Writer's block doesn't happen to the facile. I'll write more on your post after I've a chance to critically re-listen to the song using your lyric 'rendition'. Off hand, I think it is a very welcomed and intelligent contribution! I like your ears, too! ;) Best wishes.
