Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 15:02:06 -0400 From: compoccia@aol.com Subject: Re: Spencer in Studio I think Spencer has real talent. Perhaps overall the most talented of the brothers offspring? He has some of the vocal qualities of his father. The emotional vulnerability, that ephemeral quality, is similar. But, still, not near Robin's level. I find Spencer's voice a little hard to listen to at certain points. Salvatore Compoccia compoccia@aol.com Back to top

I stopped watching regularly years ago, but stopped all together about 5 years ago. But I admit, at times, I will check out the updates online. Guess I couldn't quit cold turkey. It's akin to letting go of hope that Barry will pry open the vault and release a few tracks.

Ann Grootjans was among them. Of course, there was Michael Eaton, Ken Graydon (who I think is Dwina's cousin) and another gu I guess they could have been working for Robin in some sort of capacity prior to Maurice's death. Michael Eaton had been the Bee Gees long time attorney until Barry wanted to fire him because of certain things he was unhappy about.

He's very artistic and creative. I liked his video that won, I think in 04, the SBSW festival. He's always seemed to be quite independent. He didn't appear to ride off daddy's coat tails.

Guess the twins made an executive decision which appeared to anger Barry. I think Barry has since said that it was a mistake to split off from Mo and Rob. No, I cannot produce a link.

Wow, Robin is going on 6 years.
