Re: Tony Palmer's ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
Richard Harison
I agree about the GL NG...and you are right about it as being the best
vehicle.
I do not like "forums" (or is that fora?-- remember your Latin?)
They take too much time to load--require some sort of registration, etc.
Also the threads are not easy to follow. So I won't participate.
AML is easy to follow, and as you know, I only chime in when I feel I
have something relevant to contribute, and it is a pleasure to do so.
As far as Massey goes, I kind of doubt I will be there. Here's why:
Gordon has always considered Massey as the absolute of his concert year. He
once told me that it was a case of "hometown gig is where you really prove
yourself"
I respect him for that and understand his reasoning.
In that regard I always been accustomed to the fact that he is especially
sensitive when it came to Massey and would go into a total focus.
Naturally, we all followed suit!
I just wouldn't want him to feel he had to spend any time paying attention
to me (which he would) The times we have gotten together in the past few
years were always after the show, and Barry Harvey always appreciated my
decision in that regard. (I have a permanent all access pass and I use it
with the utmost discretion)
But you never know...you might see me sitting next to Red.
I will cross post this reply to AML
Since this OP did come from the Byrds NG, I will mention that I am in
regular contact with Roger. Last thing we talked about was moving to
Mexico. (not him---me)

that's happening on the internet these days and most of the time I'm
just bumbling through it all. But I'm appreciative of the fact that it
gives me the opportunity to connect with voices that I would normally
be too shy to approach. With the upcoming shows in Toronto it sure
would be great to have to opportunity to shake the hands of some of
the players who we all know have worked so hard over the years to make
it all happen. Cheers, Ron Jones.

Do you have cable TV? If so, your cable provider probably offers high speed
internet as well. Failing that, there's always satellite (
http://www.gethughesnet.com/HUGHES/Rooms/DisplayPages/LayoutInitial?pageid=hughesnetc&Container=com.webridge.entity.Entity[OID[91908CBE85AD4C428CCD8D5CDB016B51]] )
. It's comparatively expensive, subject to the same weather-induced outages
as satellite TV, but I have a neighbor who uses it and is very happy with
it.
Peace,
