Due to the death of one of rock's greatest artists, Maurice Gibb's solo recordings-all of them-should be released in box set form. It is well-deserved considering he was a great musician outside the Bee Gees. The first time release of "The Loner" along with the soundtrack of "A Breed Apart" were never distributed in America nor released in any form whatsoever. I think it's the appropriate time to do so, don't you think. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 "Words & Music", Fans Of The Brothers Gibb ( Bee Gees ) http://www.brothersgibb.com To change any of your list options, please go to website listed above. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 10:02:59 +1100 From: "BOBBIE" Subject: Re: Maurice Gibb - The Solo Collection I third the motion...and put sing a rude song on cd as well...... bobbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Pridham" > This is a great idea.

I think after being a fan for so long I expected to be still following close behind them into old age, still looking forward to something new, still watching for an interview here, a cover version there. It strikes me that despite leaving behind almost 40 years of recorded works, we fans are lamenting almost as much the loss of his future works. With them there are no comeback tours or albums, just a continuous creative process that might get more or less active or successful at times but is always looking forward. Though they have loads of oldies to be proud of, they will never be an oldies band. There aren't many in that category.

Just like my parents when I was younger. But I can listen to the music I do like, which includes some country and a wide variety of other types, and not worry about what my young children are being exposed to. During the show last night my daughter asked why the TV kept making that funny noise. Bleeeeep! I told her the reason why, she wanted to know what the bad words were. LOL !

One thing that I've found gratifying is that many people (family, friends and acquaintances) who knew I was a Bee Gee fan have been so overwhelmingly kind in expressing their condolences. Having withstood years of Gibb-ribbing (as I'm sure so many of us have), I was half expecting to get some remarks that would add insult to our injury. I've found just the opposite. I've gotten hugs, kind words and sincere sympathy. Two years ago I lost my dearest childhood Bee Gee buddy. She was 37, a first-time mother to a 7 week old baby, and she suffered a sudden, unexplained cardiac arrest. I was lost. When we were giggling teenaged fans, we adopted the nicknames of "Woggie" and "Bodding," taken directly from the Leaf bio---names that Robin & Mo had used for each other in their early childhood. Even under our yearbook pictures went those names, understood only by each other and a few close fan friends. This week I realized that I have lost both of my Woggies. :( I don't know if people will believe this, but I'm compelled to share it anyway. Last Thursday morning I woke from a terrible nightmare. I don't usually have such an event happen, and the feeling of dread was one I carried with me all day (even tho I didn't find out about Mo's illness until the next day). In my dream I had lost a family member, and as I came into the house, all my family was gathered around, weeping and crying. Except that every person I came across had their face covered with hands, blankets, pillow, etc. so I didn't know who exactly was in mourning. How very strange. I'm sorry to unload, but being on this list and reading and sharing really offers a release that just can't be found elsewhere. Thank you to all for the mutual consolation.

I just > can't deal with friends > and family right now!!!! :(*** It's understandable. That's partly why I was so determined to spend my Sunday away from everyone, even my wife and kids. I couldn't handle any of this. Today my older brother sent me a "condolence" email, which was nice. He is going through struggles of his own, since Pete Townsend of the Who is facing kiddie-porn charges. My brother is as much a fan of the Who as I am of the Bee Gees -- and of course, his Who devotion seems as strange to me as my Bee Gees loyalty must seem to his eyes -- and so he's now hurting in his own way. I guess between his sorrow and mine, National Enquirer and the other supermarket tabloids will be making a lot of money from the Garcia family in the weeks to come... I'm comforted to hear of Barry's determination to record more Bee Gees albums. I hope they can accomplish that. I'm worried, not just from an emotional point of view -- how will they cope with an empty chair in front of that third microphone? -- but also from a technical perspective. Maurice understood MIDI, computer software and sequencers. Barry and Robin, comparatively speaking, are less technical. I think a column I once wrote referred to them still having 12:00 blinking on their VCRs. I'm predicting that Peter Vettese will come to the rescue. He's pretty good at keyboards and all. Whether they're ready to have him sing on a Bee Gees album again (as he did on at least one of Robin's tracks on the "This Is Where I Came In" album) may be another story, with the pain still so palpable. I'm still feeling the pain as well. As I told my brother, this is the first time that any so-called "Celebrity Death" has affected me so tremendously.

Sunday i thought my mom and dad would call to see how i was. I thought one of my friends would call. I guess they just don't get it. The only person that care was my best friend kevin, he come down to spend the night. When he knew how upset i was he told me about the times when we were a couple and i would leave him lunch at my house while i was at work, he would play still waters . He told he loved alone and still waters. But no one else thought too check up on me where i live. Tommorrow it going to be a very hard day, I going to be in my mourning clothes and have a picture of maruice a my desk. And at one o'clock (12:00 eastern) i'm going to have my moment of silence.

I've been trying to come to some sort of way to deal with this, but I haven't been able to. It's all still so surreal to me.... I haven't been able to watch anything on TV, but have kept up with the newspapers. I caught the tail end of the Storytellers episode... Barry was singing "Words" but there was little sight of Mo during that song, so I was OK. I just don't know how I can deal with this.... he was such a bright spot in my life when I had nowhere else to turn for happiness.... nobody can ever replace him!

I know everyone mourns in their own manner, but I am concerned when I read messages on the list containing words like I want to die or I'm not sure I want to live in this world. To me this is a definite cry for help. Maurice would be so upset to think tha I know everyone is really upset right now, as I am. I hope that everyone can find a way to deal with their feelings and come into the positive radiant light that I know surrounds Maurice right now. I can visualize this and it makes me smile just a little. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 19:45:19 -0500 From: Jacqueline Gifford Subject: VH1 Storytellers/Moment of Silence I just finished watching the VH1 Storytellers. The first time I had seen it. Again, I am thanking God for technology -- even for my ratty cable system! :P This is the first Bee Gees music I have heard since Maurice's passing and in a way, it was cathartic. I had been trying to avoid hearing it because I thought it would be too painful and I would start crying and not stop. That didn't happen. Instead, I found myself watching all of them and especially delighting in watching Maurice. A few times I did actual sob, which I think I had been holding back for some crazy reason. As for the moment a silence: I think it is a great idea. What are the details for the funeral???? Also, a huge thank you to all of you posting, especially those posting links to articles and interviews, etc. I am printing things out and at some point I am going to put them in with my other Bee Gees' stuff...when I can bear to look at it. = jg ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 19:46:20 -0500 From: LAgerg@aol.com Subject: Re: emotion lyrics You won't want to listen to For Whom the Bell Tolls or Immortality for awhile-they were too much for me last night driving home. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 19:55:57 -0500 From: "RobinsRose" Subject: Re: lyric on your mind This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_009B_01C2BC06.F44937E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The lyrics that keep going through my mind are from a song we sing at = the end of funerals.
