It certainly is if that's what he thinks. Shingle is a beach full of -little- stones that you can wade through, rather than big stones you have to kick. Incidentally, as a Donovan fan, I recommend the "Gift From A Flower To A Garden" solution to the old electric vs. acoustic problem: one LP of songs with an electric band, the other done acoustically with just a guitar and maybe a flute and bongos. - MG ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Two Halves Date: Mon, 19 Feb 96 11:21:15 -0800 From: Tom Clark "fegManiax" A little story regarding Two Halves... When Robyn did an in-store at the Boston Tower Records during the Queen Elvis days, I brought my copy of Two Halves to have him autograph. When I dropped it on the counter, his eyes got big and he looked up at me and said "Where the hell did you find this?" When I told him a friend had picked it up for me in Switzerland, he just kind of shrugged and proceeded to outline the Stonehenge picture and sign underneath with the silver grease pen. Needless to say I felt pretty weird upon leaving. I was trying to imagine what was going through his head during that shrug: "Why would anyone go to Switzerland to buy this piece of crap?", or "Wow, what a devoted fan - I'll dedicate 'Only The Stones Remain' to him during the show tonight" (didn't happen), or maybe "Whatever. Just go away and leave me alone." Nevertheless, it's one of my prized possessions. Happy President's Day Everybody!!! -tom ************************************* * Tom Clark * Apple Computer, Inc.
