I know we have heard on other occassions, that Basia was working on a new CD and our suffering would soon be over. I was on the smooth Jazz cruise last week with Peter White, Euge Groove, Marion Meadows, Angie Bofil and others. Because I am in the PW fan club, we had a special party with PW. I had a chance to meet Peter's mother who was on the cruise. I walked up to her and after introducing myself asked, " how is your son Danny". Knowing my motives, she responds, " He and Basia are producing a new CD along with Matt Bianco. Well my face proceeded to create a smile six feet long and walked away after saying thankyou. I could say I heard it from the horses mouth, or close to it. So now we can endure the cold winter with renewed hope.

Yeah! I like the remixes, they are very old school and remind me of being a little kid, taping off the radio. I mean, they were mixing a ton of people back then! I read an article online a while back which was an interview with that PWL guy (sorry, drawing a complete blank here, and can't get Google up) and he actually said that the Basia mixes were his favorites of all the ones he's done! - --Leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
