Keep that handy, we will need it. Lest we not forget Peter White's brand new fan club...at www.inlink.com/~elmarko/peter.html? Under construction, but with some info right now. Mr. Ravel has also played in Peter's band at such events as Catalina few years ago and Long Beach. He is a wonder, with a good amount of training. Peter has excellent taste in chosing his back up.

NAME; Tom Neill (people called me "wang" in high school) in the seventies of course! HOME; Lincoln, Nebraska. Smack dab in the middle. Big College Town, Go Huskers! UNL Cartography, Remote sensing and Art. AGE: 37.5 WHAT I DO TO MAKE A LIVING; I manufacture high-end audio equipment for a company named Essence Electro Acoustics. We hand build stereo/mono amplifiers from $10,000 to 70,000 , stereo preamplifiers and loudspeakers. I love audio things. Check us out in "AUDIO" magazine over the next year in the new products section. TIME ON BASIA LIST: Febr. of '97. It was cool to find others who enjoy this music, even though we do get off topic all the time, I like that because it might become boring to talk about Basia ALL the time. DISCOVERED BASIA; In 1984 at a beer party with my record store/music friends. WSAYO hot off the press and they all knew that Tommy was gonna love that one. And I did. 2 years later the next MB album came out, but no Basia. I was crushed. In the Summer of '87 I paid $20 to get an advanced Holland Pressing of T&T. AHHHHH!!!!! God she was so beautiful on that cover. Tom gets rehooked. Tom writes her a letter and she writes back from NYC. Wow! Two pages, an autographed B&W and tour dates. I saw Basia In Kansas City on October 6, 1988 Which was very exciting, in an old theatre called the Uptown (It recently reopened, saw Robert Cray) Most of the band members exited through the main doors and that was cool, but no Basia. The drummer ran into me really hard. He said "Excuse me". On November 10th 1990, they played Memorial hall, that was a good show too. I taped them both, but the tapes sound really mediocre . My early excitement about MB is where my collecting Basia and MB stuff began. Currenty I have twentyeight CD's, sixteen 7"-45's, two 10"-33's and seventeen 12" s. Basia is the only object I collectl, that I actively look for. But not all the time. I have many other interests. --------MY PICKS--------- BEST SONG: The one i just listened to, and probably the one I am about to listen to. WORST SONG: Those ones I don't play much. COOLEST BASIA PACKAGE: EPIC, 1987 BASH QT4 , White Vinyl 10" double grooved, gloss white cover w/pic. Rarest commercial Basia: ESK1276 Promotion CD from 1988, if you find one, keep it! Rarest noncommercial Basia: The bootlegs of course. hard to find. Best Basia Groove song: Right now, Waters of March... Some of you hate it, Sonically it is well done. Promises is a wonderful song also. Interests: Kelly of course, my "life partner" (just like Basia and Kevin) and her son Jordan who will be seventeen soon. Now for the stupid sh*t. I fly remote controlled sailplanes and slopeplanes. Our flying club sponsors a huge Slope event in Kansas every year (slopes in Kansas? yes!) Pilots from all over the U.S. come to this. I like music too, I have played strings forever and practice my guitars daily. I have been in bands and I have actually made records. I compose alot, all the time, I'm not in a group right now but soon with the aid of my new "ROLAND 1680,24BIT 16TRACK DIGITAL WORK STATION" I will be on the net with some stuff. My friends say I should call it "Little Tommy Neill and the Wind Breakers" Yeh,, I'll start a '60' surf band,,yeh. I also like to cook, because i really enjoy eating. Remodeling my house is a bitch sometimes but I stick with it and its coming along nicely. So to sum this up I am still waiting for the band to play Lincoln because Basia promised me a long time ago that they would. Now you will hear me inhale deeply and hold my breath, as I wait. Always looking forward to your views.
