Based out >of Miami.... > >Michelle Smith >michelle.smith@qici.com > > >"the" Fan Club??? > >Anne > If this is "the" club out of Miami, it is the same group that never got back to me on my idea of nominating the Bee Gees for a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys WHILE MAURICE WAS STILL ALIVE. And yes, for those who have made the connection, ( and some of you have ) it is the same fan club I did the Legends transcript for. It's not being hypocritical ... three very wise men, one of whom passed away on January 12, taught me the importance of being able to forgive and forget. You know, like the time when these same three men ( who have given the people who subscribe to this ML a lot of happiness ) insisted their former manager join them on stage at the 1997 Brit Awards when that moment was supposed to be theirs.

LOL Grrrr, information overload lol Basically you have to decide how much those songs are worth to you. Will you be playing the CD a year or two from now? And how often? Can you find the same exact thing somewhere else, maybe in the future at a more reasonable price? For instance I spent a couple of years seeing the HAWKS CD on E-Bay for hundreds of dollars each time, a few times well over $300. There's just no way in hell I'm paying that much money for a CD, I don't care who made it. Eventually after biding my time I found it somewhere for less than $25US. You just have to put it all into perspective, make your decision on what you'll offer that person based on it's worth to you over time.

That and the tidbit that Cold Spring Harbor residents tend to be filthy rich, smoke $50 cigars, sail a lot, and tell their assistants at 6:30 p.m. to reconcile all four of their checking accounts before going home that night are the extent of my knowledge on the subject. Oh, and there's Oheka and the Cold Spring Harbor Labs. Debbie OK Debbie, where's Cold Spring Harbor? Anne (planning her next trip to NY) Joe -- Robin's house on Long Island was in Cold Spring Harbor. My former boss had a home there and used to regale me with stories about the antics of the residents. I could kick myself now for not paying more attention to what he said about Robin. At the time, I was just doing my best to tune his stories out whenever I could -- especially when he'd explain to me how to "keep regular" on a sailboat.... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 23:03:27 +0200 From: Ronnie Olsson Subject: Re: Digest (04/03/2003 23:36) Special Issue (#2003-3867) 2003-04-04 22.02, skrev Bill Busch p=E5 mrnaturl@bellsouth.net f=F6ljande: > Bad enough being an IT person I have to deal with so many acronyms, now > you want to feed me more??

It's not that I don't like them, I just have to darn many of them! :) Too many records and so little time... If I won a million dollars I could quit working and spend my days listening to my records... and buying some more... I could get a cd changer and stuff it with my CD's of course and play them at random. The problem is there isn't a cd-changer in the world that could hold all my cd's.... and then there is the vinyl collection... To quote Fran Drescher: Oy! > For instance I spent a couple of years seeing the HAWKS CD on E-Bay for > hundreds of dollars each time, a few times well over $300.

I have yet to find a CD that I'd be willing to pay $300 for so I'm with you there. Usually the prices are raised by people with big wallets and small brains...=20 Ebay bidders are strange, yesterday I saw a bid on Magnet for $35 dollars..= . Geez, they obviously own a computer, order the cd from England, even with p&p you don't have to spend that much money. Wonder how much it went for?! Some of us are lucky though, I got most of the albums that are rare now (Robin's Reign, Secret Agent, Now Voyager, Living Eyes Hawks, Bunbury Tails and so on) back when they were released or they weren't regarded as so rare at the time that I had to dig too deep in my wallet. Had I known they would become so rare I'd buy a stack of them and sold them on Ebay. Time for damage control, I've already started with the We Love The Bee Gees CD, I've got 2 so far... > You just have to put it all into perspective, make your decision on what > you'll offer that person based on it's worth to you over time. It will be less than 5% of what the latest auction of it is at right now an= d won't affect my monthly budget one bit. I'm even off to a record fair tomorrow (not that I expect to find anything that'll make me drool & give m= e the shakes - got a rabies shot the other day just in case). I expect I will find the original eventually and at a more reasonable cost. The item has gone for higher sums so the latest figures suggests that interest is going down rapidly (much like the value of the Ericsson stocks) but still enough to be too much AFAIC. /Ronnie http://www.brothersgibb.com Bee Gees News and Information ------------------------------ End words@brothersgibb.com Digest [04/04/2003 18:01] ----------------------------------------------------
