Why not Most Stylish Man of the Year? Why? Because Carlo Brandelli of Kilgour bagged that one, and guess which Saville Row label Ferry is supporting this year - yup you've guessed it. Morissey, co-would-be-headliner of the IOW Festival and self confessed Ferry worshipper (and quite possibly one of the few porkey, thinning Mancufornicationers who could pull off a vintage Pierre Cardin polyester suit). So ... all roads lead to Ferry. How, dear readers, can you connect yourself to your hero (Roxy or otherwise), bearing in mind the cardinal rule of 6 degrees of separation? Richard can do his in a mere one or three - to Roger Eno or two steps further via Brian Eno's production and friendship to one Mr Bowie. Reecey can do his in three, via Serge Gainsborough (his fave of all time) to Jane Birkin to her duet with none other than Mr F on IEDH. Myself (thanks to Collen's snippet of knowledge) via Betty Jackson to Jasper Conran to Lucy Ferry to Bryan Ferry. You see how easy it is. You could even go via organic prize chicken eggs (if you knew where to buy them) to Anthony Price directly to Ferry. Even to Andy is a doddle. My other half is a McIntosh, connected to Inverness, which is connected to the MacKay clan. My most unexpected and thrilling connection is three degrees of separation to Dirk Bogarde - I taught design communications to the grandson of his manager and lover. Fabulous. So let's have a challenge. Name a Roxy connection - no matter how obscure, and I bet a tenner someone here somewhere is connected in 6 degrees or less.

As I am a digest recipient, I don't know what's been posted in the past day but Bryan Ferry has been recognised and acknowledged by a magazine for yet another lifetime achievement... This time, Word magazine, a superlative UK music etc mag, has a feature on Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Following on is another listing "14 OTHER people who threw it all away". Rubbing shoulders with the illustrious company of Arthur Rimbaud, George Best, Alex Higgins, Robert Kilroy Silk and MC Hammer (among others), you'll find Bryan Ferry... "Bryan Ferry, rock and roll clothes horse: From Virgina Plain to plain dull is a mighty plummet, but one Le Fez took with regal abandon. After the harmonic intrigues and lyrical tomfoolery of early Roxy Music, he was to be found slaving for seven years on an album of, er, covers; a while later, he was found to be defending his Eton-educated son's attempt to bring about the downfall of a democratically elected Government - because they weren't going to allow him kill any more foxes. Ferry interesting, but stupid." Hard to argue... Best wishes Richard Mills n/p Black Acetate - John Cale ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 02:48:27 -0500 From: "Judy Kaufman" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Six degrees or less of seperation - ----- Original Message ----- From: Jocelynfiske@aol.com To: avalon@smoe.org Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: [AVALON] Six degrees or less of seperation >How, dear readers, can you connect yourself to your hero (Roxy or otherwise), >bearing in mind the cardinal rule of 6 degrees of separation?
