This group seems to have digressed lately, mainly because we're like a school classroom of kids where the teacher has left the room for an extended period. After Basia blew my socks off with her music, I looked around and she could not be found. At least, no one seems to be aware of any new appearances or solo recordings. You mentioned Peter White and I should say that I had an email from him not too long ago in which he mentioned a possible reunion of Matt Bianco, including Basia, Danny White, and Mark Reilly (Did I get those names right?). Okay everyone, how about a chorus of one her songs: "I'm going to knock on your door .... . . . if you don't come back to me. Her son has been known to drop in here in the past, if not lurk, so keep saying nice things about her. I'm hoping the love gets back to her!

I consider Danny White's keyboards perfect in every way - his solos and backgrounds on Drunk On Love and Third Time Lucky give me chills every time and make me wish I could conjure up a 14' Steinway & Sons in my living room. Add to that the most excellent brass (who can ever find fault with Kevin Robinson's horns?) the bass lines that are always RIGHT ON the mark, and the just-right percussion to perfectly bind it all together, and the instrumentation alone could leave a true musician and music-lover perfectly breathless. And altho I didn't mention Peter White's guitars, with which I fell in love at first hearing I will say that those tones can make one determine to be a good little girl so as to hopefully end up in the Heavenly Hereafter and listen to White's guitars forever. Just felt the urge to "share the love" as I listen again this morning. Hope everyone's having a fabulous day! /jan - ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V8 #145 *************************** ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V8 #146 ***************************
