Hi Chris, Thank you for that nice tribute. It seems like a surreal world when a reconstruction of an original is the historical event we look back on, but that's the world we live in! I remember that year, when everyone was talking about Lucy Wilkins, and Sarah Brown, and Roxy Music indeed rebanded for that incredible tour with all the glamour of their glory days. I was lucky enough to see it in Boston, and that was a spectacular night. London must have been all the more so. What was the story of the yellow t-shirt? So now we have mostly our memories, but thanks to fans like you, they are vivid ones. Heather On Mon, May 23, 2016 at 12:44 PM, Andy Mol wrote: > > Hahahaha.
