Well, the singles started appearing in the UK in 1983 (Bianco 1, which was the catalog number for the "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed"/ "Big Rosie" single was dated 1983 - plus its the one that had the original foursome pictured on the single), but I don't think "Half a Minute" did anything substantial until '84 or '85. Actually, now that I'm looking all of this up, its funny to see how radically Matt Bianco has evolved since 1983. Toodles!

Can anyone tell me if Basia is on tour this year either in the US or Europe?

Such good taste is a tribute. BTW, loved the sampler. I'm can hardly wait for the whole box of candy.

I don't know if you like him, but that was the London Warsaw New York Tour, and my first time for seeing Ottmar (in Los Angeles)... He put me and my friend to sleep... Technically a *fabulous* guitarist, but not a whole lot of pizazz onstage... Didn't say a word. Just came on and sat down and played... Adequate, nice, but dangit, I wanted to see BASIA... A study in contrasts. WHY do booking agencies do that??? I mean, I went to another show right around the same time, and it was the opposite, the opening act (Johnny Clegg & Savuka) came on and their energy just set the place on FIRE! The headliner act was Tracy Chapman -- An excellent songwriter, a good singer, but left a lot to be desired when we were still in a big BOOGIE mode from JClegg & co... Couldn't get into her show at *all*... >I almost saw Basia again in Seattle several years back but she >cancelled her concert at the last minute for some reason. Yeah, that Seattle show *was* cancelled, don't recall now why... Welcome to the list, Kristy! (now Phil, try not to scare her away!)

That is the yapping coming over the airwaves from KOAI-FM today as they give her more play time than she has had for the whole month. Believe me, I have just been eating it up. Even better, it seems like they have doubled the play on PW, too.
