(I was SO proud:o) He then said,"You know, mom, I find it frightening that a guy my age (21) knows all the lyrics to every BeeGees song there is. I told him I considered it 'enlightening'. I was telling him about the Lawn Mowing thread and the 'modified' album list from the ML when he reminded me of his own personal favorite that had been overlooked - "I Don't Wanna Be a Gnome". (When he was younger he actually misunderstood the lyrics to be ' a gnome'. Makes me wonder how many BeeGees tunes he 'really' knows the lyrics to;o) Mary Lee:o) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 22:41:38 -0800 From: "Full Spectrum Records" Subject: Re: Date release of Magnet Actually, Barry recorded with that new singer guy from Canada, on How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

It's only about twelve weeks since Maurice died. I shouldn't think Barry and Robin will get back to writing until late 2003 - maybe at the time that I'll be taking my mock GCSE exams in November - or in 2004. They probably have enough on their plate already.

Bobby Sherman was a teen idol singer from the early 70's. It was a bit before my time, though, I was about 6 or 7 when he popular. Jeopardy is a game show here. The song Jeopardy was done by Greg Kihn or somebody. I like Weird Al's I lost on Jeopardy to that that song. Christine E. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "melissagibson" Who on earth is Bobby Sherman?
