He does >not need the money. There is no problem with that. I guess 'it is what it >is'... I really think Barry lost alot of the desire or "hunger" sometime in the 90's. Alot has been made over the years that Barry didn't work again with Robin after Maurice's death in 2003 because Maurice had held it altogether and Barry & Robin couldn't coexis It would hard to believe that money would play a large part in Barry's deliberations these days. He must have been set for life since 1980, at least. But, who knows? The earning power of recording artists has been on a sharp decline for some time now due Sal Salvatore Compoccia compoccia@aol.com Back to top

I mean, I was going to announce my great news about "Andy Gibb - The Musical" today, but Victoria reminded me that casting of principal roles was still in the works, and a Dallas opening was still, while preferable to Branson, not yet certain -- also, Vegas is still an option. Plus, she and I are working on the lyrics to signature song "My Precious Gibb," and frankly are having a hard time rhyming words with 'Gibb.' So, no announcement yet. But looking forward to putting the book on my Kindle this fall, Mark! Keep us informed... . David Garcia, who will watch "The Producers" on DVD tonight for Broadway musical financing tips in NYC .

Not really-- that's how far ahead publishers plan things. Mark's choice of date to announce is suspicious but the book is a real thing. He and Mawn Hughes have been going on about it for years now and I'm glad to see there will be an end to it :-) > and I are working on the lyrics to signature > song "My Precious Gibb," and frankly are having a hard time > rhyming words with 'Gibb.' So, no announcement yet. Really? These could all fit, considering the age difference, words said, and his brothers: bib, crib, fib, sib (ling). That's four verses' worth, and for the long version maybe you can figure out how to use nib and rib. Let Vicki know about these next time you see her. I won't ask for credit. Joe Brennan Back to top
