He has undergone heart surgery and has only just returned to the UK. He is recovering at home and I`m sure he would like to hear from Avalon and those within. Therefore, if anybody would like to put their name to a get well card then please send your name to me off list and I will add those names to the card I am sending him. (before Friday 12/8 please) Also, to cheer him up as much as poss, if there is anyone kind enough who could offer the Koko cd for him as a favour outside of their respective "tree" as he was present at the gig and would appreciate it very much. I will accept the very first offer and thanks in advance (and no offence) to anyone else who responds. Regards to everyone, N. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2005 15:29:01 +0100 From: George Robertson Subject: [AVALON] Another branch of the tree Koko's Tree I can now offer this to folks in the UK.

Avalon's a newsgroup so can't really push anything. ;0) The book is getting discussed her because Mr Stockman and myself are both reading it and there are lots of references to Roxy Music that might be of interest to other list members. As Amazon's write up fails to mention these references (and why should they? It's not a book about Roxy Music, but they get a good 20 or so pages.) it's a very good job that the aforementioned Mr Stockman and myself are here to point other like minded people towards what is an excellent and witty read. I would also add that Michael Bracewell's book 'The 90's' has exclusive Roxy interviews etc but is by no means a book on the band.
