(signed > CD as a prize) Nope. :-( I wish! The answer to your question was basically that Basia stays away from the internet for the most part because she is worried about running into something that might hurt her feelings ("I'm too insecure," she said) and that Danny is really the web guy and monitors stuff and sends her the good stuff. Then! Basia said that she just remembered that they had never played South Carolina and that she thought it was wrong how promotors always think that her music doesn't play well in the South. And that she does want to go there 'cause she thinks that's ridiculous, Tennessee as well. There was a lot of people asking when they were coming to different places, and they said they wanted to go to these places. They also said they are having some promotor issues (THAT explains the bizarro tour sched thing!) I'll forward the summary I just sent to M-B. It was so cool to hear them call you, I cheered! - --LO Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You can never bother me! :-) Here twas my question for Basia: Your lyrics really move me, not only because they are such well-written songs but also because they are so personal to you. For what songs did you write the lyrics for on Matts Mood, and what was some of the inspiration behind those songs? ...and I shall transcribe the answer, it was pretty long! - --Leslie (still reeling!) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I found some nice long sleeve black shirts at WalMart and am having a local embroidery shop stitch them up for us. It's all basically words... Front (left breast pocket area) : basia@smoe.org The Basia Mailing List Since 1994 Back: Matt Bianco 20th Anniversary & Reunion Tour Welcome Back Mark * Basia * Danny Type face is Arcane Wide (TrueType windows) and some nifty asterisks from Monotype sorts. I kept it simple (sans a Basia logo) since it was cheaper and quick enough to meet our deadline as I fly out next Monday (!!!!!)... colors are: yellow/goldenrod stitching (for "Matt Bianco" and "basia@smoe.org"; red stitching for "The Basia Mailing List Since 1994" for all else is white. Thelma and I are wearing our Basia tour shirts (hers from seeing her live, mine a TSI tour shirt from eBay) under our new "Matt Bianco" shirts.... so hopefully we will be unified.

Beverly in Texas just got a couple for us to wear in New York. I offered to do the shirt idea for everyone but there was no more mention of it so I did not want to push it.

Subject: Have a great show & please give my regards For those who go to the show, all that I can say is, Have a great show. I believe you all will enjoy it very much. One thing that I can ask is please give my warm regards to Basia if you have a chance to shake her hand because my hands arent long enough to reach hers. Thank you very much. ------ Desianto F.

Seems Desianto will have as much chance to catch a show as I will, since I'm not driving to Long Island, and he isn't driving to Tokyo. Phil H. (I didn't ask the radio question either, tho I raised the subject here long ago: re: you don't get really famous unless you do a soundtrack. A 'la Burt Bacharach. Since she won't go online, I guess my original postulations went for nothing, unless Danny was truly checking in, and did he line up a film gig? I haven't heard about it mabey the radio transcriptions will clear this up. Looking forward to this from our web Goddess Leslie, who is really Good at this sort of thing, and I hope well paid?)
