These were great posts, Larry. Thaks for the hookup. I've been curious as to why this guy has "legendary" status, wonder no more. Sheesh! Two points: 1) Keith Thomas warranted a surfing session from me today. I don't know what to think of it, as he has worked with 98 Degrees, Bryan McKnight, Vanessa Williams, Selena, Luther Vandross,Deborah Cox, and - this is the scary part- Amy Grant. As in , "Baby Baby." With all due resprct to Amy Grnat fans on this ML, if Basia records any like dreck, I'll defect, I swear. He was up for Producer of the Year in 1998. Seems to be an expensive guy as each of these performers seem to have one song a piece of his, as opposed to a whole album. I wonder if it ever came about, seeing as this was written in 1996. 2) With all due respect again, but none of these acts listed under the BTB roster seems to be working very much. Lord knows why, but that doesn't seem posititve. (i.e. Trey Lorenz was "emerging" in 1993, shouldn't he be out o' the chrysalis by now?) :) Regardless, he sounds like one helluva guy with many interesting stories to tell. - --Leslie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(2) Brian McKnight is doing quite well in the R and B world. He got an excellent review when he was here in Buffalo a couple weeks ago, and of course I have to stick up for hometown acts :) (3) What is "dreck?"

I recall seeing it a lot in Mad Magazine years ago. Anyway, Leslie used it in the sense I recognize, and have to agree. Several years ago I watched a Grammy Awards broadcast, during which one of the winning acts (it was a group, I think REM) was in the act of being zeroed in on by the camera. In the immediate background, one row back, was Basia and a rather large, bearded, fellow applauding the festivities. It was acknowledged by someone here (probably Larry) this person was Dee.
