I'm down with being natural and casual, but not understyled, since they are on stage and everything looks differently in that context. White shirts tend to mess with lighting too, blowing you out on stage or not appearing as opaque as they would look under normal light. Keep in mind that I get a stylist to do any (rare, can count on one hand) photo shoot I'm involved with directing, because I can't dress myself, let alone others! So I have no room to talk, myself. But their clothes way downplayed how beautiful they all really are. Maybe they can look at it for next round. - -- Leslie O.

I've heard this song many times, but I heard it again yesterday and marvelled how much it feels like a song our Basia could have done. The song is "Come With Me" by Tania Maria, on the Concord Picante label. Interesting to note is that Concord Picante was started by Carl Jefferson of Concord Records initially for Cal Tjader, and added Tania Maria, Pete Escovedo, Tito Puente, and others of that caliber; and that "Come With Me" was the label's first big hit.

W." Subject: Talking about Basia's look (hair) Hello everybody, When I read about someone made comments about Basia's look, I remember something that I wrote months ago. If you still remember it, it's about "if only.... if only...." I used to wrote, "One more, if only Basia were 20's in 2000's and lived in Indonesia, I think she would make some shampoo commercials on TV because straight-long black/dark hair is very popular now, in Indonesia.... :-)" Well, recently in Indonesia, there is a shampoo commercial starred a famous Indonesian female movie director named Nia Dinata. She has hair almost looks like Basia's. But, IMHO, Basia would look like better than her if she was in a shampoo commercial. The eyes speak it all, I think. I'm sure that Basia keep her hair very well and she loves it. I remember an article in the BasiaWeb about a girl in Texas (Dallas?). The girl thought that Basia wore a wig, so, after the show, she tried to get closer to Basia and pull Basia's hair to find out whether it's a wig or not. Because it's real, of course Basia screamed in pain. The girl's name is not mentioned but I think she'd like to have hair as beautiful as Basia has. I hope our lady was generous enough to give the girl the secret after knowing that the girl pulled her hair just to find out the answer; no bad intentions. And I hope the girl doesn't have to pull someone else's hair again because she has already had the secret from Basia..... :-) Well, enough for small talks. Have a nice day, Desianto F.

For the people who will not win the auction, an alternate source for these tracks is the lovely Japanese Clear Horizon CD single. The one with a photo of Basia that looks like she time-warped from 1966, and all sorts of Japanese notes on the obi that I wish I could read. Same dude has a 'Go For You' single too-- insane! This is the first time I've seen Polish singles. Have at it, you big spenders. - -- Leslie O. "People around the world want the same thing- wanting to love and be loved.
