Subject: Re: basia-digest V8 #145 Hello Fred, Is Peter White not tired enough answering the questions about Basia? Some months ago, we got a mail that he reacted 'not so well' (I don't know the appropriate term for this) to the questions about Basia but he tried to answer them politely, kindly, and clearly.

Subject: Re: Some old things....plus... Hello Phil, What a surprise! I hope you can contact her and exchange some info about Basia. Who knows, she knows a lot about Basia after some years.... About introducing Basia albums to our friends, I agree with you. Maybe by doing this, the number of Basia's fan will be increasing and who knows, some new info will 'pop up'. I myself started it a year ago by giving Clear Horizon to my best friend as a wedding gift. Now, I try to be selective because I have a lot of friends but don't know well enough their appreciation to Basia's music. Desianto F.

Her age has been in a bit of dispute. I belive 44 is correct, but some published figures put her birthdate as 1956 - making her 47. un abrazo, juan > > So how OLD is Basia, anyway?
