Conference marvin::uk_music

164.0. "But Honey,you can call me....Anytime!" by BONNET::MCALLISTER () Thu Aug 11 1988 19:57

    
     Here we go from the sunny Cote D'Azur...Bill (mcbill) Mcallister
    signing in,I'm looking forward to using this conference to keep
    up to date with whats happening in the music scene in the old
    UK (between you and me,I can't get used to this french stuff at 
    all,at all).
    
     Musical tastes vary with the weather,I've got stuff in the house
    by the likes (or dis-likes sometimes) of Wings,Jethro Tull,Madonna,
    Yes,ELP,Huey Lewis(or is it Jerry-Lee Lewis :-)),Be-Bop Deluxe,Simple
    Minds,Spandau Ballet,Bruce Hornsby,Bowie,Genesis,Beggers Opera......
    ..the more obscure ones are an album of great (they said it not
    me) organ (Now stop it,stop it !!) works that contains a great track
    that my wife and I wanted to have played when she walked into the
    church when we were geting hitched...until we discovered that the
    title was ..."March of the War Brides",I kid you not...the other
    is an album called Delanys' Donkey by Val Doonican,I think the
    man is a marvel.
    
     Main claims to musical fame are that I once gave someone a pen
    to allow David Bowie to write his autograph on her arm,I was in
    a band who released an album that was sold out in two days (ok we
    only made 200,and it was only on sale in two shops,and my mum and
    my relations bought 50,and...),I once saw Michael Donnelly play
    "Thats just the way it is" by Bruce Hornsby without making a mistake
    and I managed to smuggle a bottle of Sherry into the Apollo in Glasgow
    to see Focus when all of my mates got stopped with theirs.
    
     What do you mean I ramble on a lot,
    
    		Cheers.....mcbill.
                                  

    
    
     OK,I boobed....I was reading the introductions note and typed
    write instead of answer,just can't get to grips with this modern
    technology at all.
    
     Person Moderator,please excuse this in-discretion I promise to
    be a good boy in future.
    
     Ciao....mcb

    Not *the* Michael Donnelly??

     Well what can I say ? Michael (his sunday name) is obviously far
    to modest to admit this himself,but yes it is *the* MD star of stage,
    screen and the 5-a-side pitch.  I think he also doubles up on the
    paper-and-comb but the rumours are unconfirmed.
    
     I was never quite sure wether Michael (do I have to keep calling
    you that ?) wanted to be a piano player or a boxer as he often seemed
    to be playing with the gloves on !!!!

    Hi Bill,
    
    Yes, I've had an enforced absence from Notes for a while and I'm
    just catching up on some of this stuff.... and no, you don't ramble
    on a bit - you ramble on a lot!
    
    
    
    Michael
    
    P.S - like the one about the boxing gloves - every time I hear it!
