Judy - ----- Original Message ----- From: KB Porter To: Avalon@smoe.org Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 7:58 AM Subject: [AVALON] San Simeon Announced yesterday: "BEVERLY HILLS HEARST MANSION ON THE MARKET FOR $165 MILLION The rich are getting richer, and their properties are getting pricier. The 1920's-ear mansion of William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies was put on the market Monday for $165 million, making it the nation's most expensive residential listing. The pink stucco, H-shaped estate is spread across 6.5 acres north of Sunset Boulevard. It has just about everything a billionaire could want - including three pools, 29 bedrooms, a state-of-the-art movie theater and even a disco. The asking price surpasses the $155 million being sought by developers of an estate in Montana's Big Sky country and the $135 million price of an Aspen, Colo. compound being sold buy Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia." Hmmm, there's your chance Big Boys!

No apology needed, Martin. I'm glad you've re-told it with the addition of another tidbit of info about Kari-Ann and the Hollies tune - news to me! Thanks for providing a 'new slant' on 'hey Kari-Ann what's your game now can anybody play...' Best wishes.

Overall, sales have been around 10,000 copies, less than a tenth of those sold in the UK. Would he sell more if he toured there, or would he tour more if he sold there?

I didn't want to wait an additional 2 months but saw no reason to purchase again when it was released here just to boost U.S. sales. I wonder how many others in the U.S. did the same?

This is the second date of the UK tour where Bryan Ferry has been reduced to half price tickets. It's possible that BF has overreached himself, though I think the drreadful weather might have something to do with it. However, I went to see Steve Harley in two Samuel Beckett plays at the Arts Theatre in London's West End this week. Only 19 people in the audience, 281 empty seats, tickets on the night reduced to #5 and a sheepish Steve Harley come lights up and curtain call... Anyway...Summer Nights Half Price Special Offer We are pleased to offer our subscribers an opportunity to book tickets for selected Summer Nights Picnic Concerts at Blickling Hall at HALF PRICE with NO BOOKING FEE!
