And although I was surprised by what he sang, I'm not surprised that it wasn't really up to him in the end. So why did Barry refuse to join him?

That takes some bravery too. I trust Barry to know when it's time for him to stop performing Bee Gees songs and start using his talents in other ways. That prospect makes me sad, but I would understand the decision. The guy can't sing falsetto forever. --- listmember@brothersgibb.com wrote: Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 11:15:21 EDT From: Catbird61@aol.com Subject: Robin's Performance [snipped] Robin doing his thing, and Barry off doing.........?.
