Me too - must be going around. I hope yours get settled without too much further confusion for you. My own key to resolving bad situations seems to be following my instincts. There's some natural state of balance that I can achieve if I only become very quiet and pay attention to it, when all else has failed. Of course in my case my instincts are somewhat eccentric, but there are reasons for eccentricities in everyone & people shouldn't be afraid of their own. Our relationships with other people and our own peace of mind are better when we're not afraid of these extraordinary things (no matter how weird they may make us look! speaking for myself of course :) xxxxx Robin T ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 22:08:00 -0000 From: "p.latham2" Subject: Re: Alloy: Thomas Dolby narrating a story - link attached Tim mentioned how he rated Kevin Armstrongs playing on Toms recordings - just thought id add , that today I received a copy of Kevin Armstrongs LP , it features Tom on keyboards on two of the tracks . Not a bad LP , but unfortunately it doesnt have Sampson & Delilah on the Lp -- thats a shame - . Please also someone have a look at the Bruce Woolley web site i mentioned - the poor lad has put a lot of effort into the site with many rare pictures -- I certainly would encourage anyone who hasnt already got a copy to get hold of the Bruce Woolley & the Camera Club LP --(now been released on CD remember ) not just for being a great LP - but for those great early pictures of Tom & Matthew Seligman.. Whilst Trevor Horn got all the fame ,I feel woolley was by far more talented song writer & singer . Ahem , ill get of my high horse now.
