Phil has asked about the absence of Basia midis. Now that I'm working on a couple, I think I see why. The arrangements are rather complicated. I live in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. One day in 1989, I was playing some old Astrud Gilberto for a friend. He said he had a tape of some woman singing a song about someone named Astrud. He played T&T for me and I've been hooked since. un abrazo juan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 09:26:31 -0700 (PDT) From: "Diane F.

She is definetively my favorite singer. My wife favorite song is Brave New Hope, my kids´(5 and 9 years old) is Baby You´re Mine and mine are Three Times Lucky, Drunk in Love and From Now On. I have never heard Angels/Waters of March and I have never seen a Video of her.(So please hurry up, Ben) Nicolas. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 16:20:23 -0400 From: Mike Lapoint Subject: Dzien Sie Budzi Does anyone have the english translation of the lyrics.

Yep! Alfred Wong here: actually only 10 minutes from the infamous Biggin Hill address!! But have never spotted Ms Trzetrzelewska. First heard Basia back in my hometown of Hong Kong where I could receive the British Forces radio. Matt Bianco was played a lot during the "Whose Side Are You On" era. So I started collecting Matt Biance and later Basia records since 1983/4. I moved to England in 1990 and attended the Jazz Cafe "Sweetest Illusion" concert in 1994/ Favourite tracks: Third Time Lucky, Yearning, Baby You're Mine, Promises. I really love the way they use the chromatic bass as the building block for a lot of their songs.

I don't remember precisely when I fell for Basia, but I can remember extreme anxiety waiting for LWNY to be released. I guess my favorite is still "Cruising for Bruising", although she has so many great songs that is is really a tough decision. I was lucky enough to see her, and Spyro Gyra, at Harborlights, in Boston, a couple of years ago. This was just before the BOB disc was recorded. It was also Danny's birthday that night, which made it even more special(yes, the band did sing "Happy Birthday" to him). Although already a big fan at that time, I have never been to a live show where an artist "connected" with an audience like Basia did that night. I now am patiently awaiting what comes next. Trust me, it will be well worth the wait. It has been a lot of fun reading your comments. I am also a big fan of Swing Out Sister, Corrs, Enya, Sade, and, of course, PW. Party on!

My name is Jackie and I am from Cleveland, Ohio, USA. I first heard Basia singing Time and Tide around 1989. I have Jazzercise (aerobics) to thank for introducing me to Basia. Before that I had no idea who she was and I have since gotten my three sisters to become Basia fans also. :o) I was curious if there is anyone else on this list that saw Basia in Cleveland at Nautica a few years back. It was sort of memorable because Nautica is right on the banks of the Cuyhoga River and this huge ship/cargo ship sailed by and shined their spotlight onto the stage. It was sort of neat and I was just curious if anyone else was there.
