It's interesting to hear that BK can reach someone so far away. ====================== Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1997 Sava Velickovic, from Serbia, writes: Dear Gordon: as i have promised you I'll tell you how we know about Brenda in Sebia, Yugoslavia ( NOT Yugoslavakia, as you wrote). I saw her a few times on a TV a couple of years ago, it was " I dont sleep..." video. I think there was not much else of her music on our TV, and a little less on the radio, but I'll send you news about it soon. I want to contact some guys who work on radio station here to see what they know. I'm not really a great fan of guitar-girls, they always seemed to me a little too hippy. But this one was different, and maybe I would never write to you if i didn't find a few months later a short note about her in some magazine ( dont ask me which ). Luckilly, when i saw her for the first time I wrote down the name, so I realized about who the text was. What is interesting is that she was born same year as I was (1967), and listened to quite same music as i did. So I understood what was it that attrected me. It had a very same feeling (not sound, not words, nothig material, just the feeling) that I could feel in the Clash songs. And it was still too personal and her own to be recognized just by hearing her. If I didnt get this biogaphy informations I would probably never be aware that i like her songs because they belong to the same" story" in which I grew up. I think it must be a mark of a great tallent to be able to capture the essence of something in a way that somebody could get the message immediately, despite the fact that he belongs geographically to completely another area of the world. In fact I started a search at Altavista with her name, because I was a kind of worried about why there are no news of her for such a long time. And i'm glad shes doing well again, for I understand that we would probably be good friends if we happened to be born in the same town. That it, hello to you and hello to her.
