First play: meh. Fifth play: getting pretty damn good. I LOVE that vocal and really like where he's going with this. I haven't heard any of the rumours and didn't even know this thing was out till you mentioned it so don't know how much of this is Ferry and how much is GA. I used to listen to these guys quite a bit back in the day and this is (or was) their usual MO so maybe we shouldn't really see this as a Ferry thing as such. Anyway, thanks, as usual. It's playing now and sounding really, REALLY good. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:08:01 -0600 From: "_~^B^I^ L^ L^~_" Subject: RE: [AVALON] Shameless All I really heard was that wonderful voice...... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Helene Kremer Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 11:19 AM To: Alan Heaton Cc: Michael McClelland; richarde66@mac.com; jocelynfiske@aol.com; avalon@smoe.org Subject: Re: [AVALON] Shameless Hi, I find it so-so, not so great, but not terrible.
