I wanted to tell everyone what an awesome time I had experiencing Happy, Hansford, Bon, and Bob not one, but two nights in a row! Thanks again to Chip and his wife for opening their home to the "ecto-bunch". I have to say that the music was awesome, both in chip's living room and at Martyrs. I really enjoyed meeting the folks who's posts I have been reading for some time now... it was great to put a face to the name! It was a bit odd meeting Happy for the first time though as I've never ever felt starstruck, until this past Tuesday night that is (Grin). But I have to say she was completely friendly and totally willing to chat, and she must have posed for a thousand pictures! Including one with me in which I have the goofiest grin you can imagine! (Thanks Alberto!). Thanks to all the ecto folk who made this lurker feel so welcome and accepted. I hope to see you all again very soon. The most personalized portal on the Web! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 23:29:17 +0100 (CET) From: Yngve Hauge Subject: Re: Another Happy thing Hi, I've more or less been going in the direction of When the Rain Came Down as an opener. It shows off her early vocals quite well besides being a really beautiful song. Anyone else got some suggestions? - -- Yngve ****************************************** * One alien has come, unalien to one ***** ****************************************** ***** Blessed be!!! ********************** ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #325 **************************
