Subject: Thanks!/Turn around, Look at Me

First, I want to thank those who kindly resent me in such short notice the digests I lost (Sir G, Roxy, etc.) Hope this will never happen again. When will we have our archives? I think that Chris is working on that.

Second: someone mentioned that Turn around, Look at Me was NOT a Gibb composition. How can that be, if even on the credits of my Spicks & Specks CD (The one that shows the Bros on some stairs, with someone else - I think it's Colin) I have Gibb?

Narissa, the show "Laugh-In" aired in the late 60's if I remember rightly, so,
sadly, you are too young to remember it.  However, Funk & Wagnalls is a publisher
of an encyclopedia so I'll give you credit for that.  You can put a gold star on
your report card.

Subject: Muzak

I went out to lunch at Hometown Buffet with this guy that I'm trying to get
interested in me.  He was telling me this long involved story and I'm gazing into
his eyes, trying to look fascinated, when all of a sudden I blurt "That's
Heartbreaker they're playing!"  In fact, I think I caught him mid-sentence.  And,
if that wasn't bad enough, I started to tell him all about it.  The BeeGees are
warping my social life.

Count me amoung the lucky ones too!   The oldies station I listen to,
Kool 95.1 out of New Boston, TX , has a station owner that loves the Bee
Gees.  So you get quite a variety of their music there on a daily basis.
Also they have what they call the 5 o'clock Traffic Jam where they play
request.  It is not uncommon to hear a Bee Gees song on your way home
from work that way.  They are available on the internet where the
station can be heard.

This has most likely been answered but I've been wondering if anyone knows who the man was
standing next to Olivia Newton John's daughter at the Vegas concert.  He looked to have
some kind of special pass hung around his neck.

Hi!  I have an album of Gibb songs named Turn Around, Look At Me (on Contour 
label) but the song you are referring to on Brilliant From Birth isn't a Gibb 
tune...the credits under the song are (Capehart) Albert.....and forgive my 
ignorance but I don't know who these people are.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Andy who?



I have a cute story  to share.  Yesterday I received an email from one of the
girls in another department of our office (obviously not a Gibb fan and you will
see why).  Her email was bubbling with excitement to tell me that Andy Gibb was
a guest on the Howard Stern show and that she was listening to him at that very
moment.  She said his 19 year old girlfriend was on the show with him.  She went
on to say how he uses drugs and alcohol and then she said he just announced that
he is bisexual!
We had a fair amount of email exchange until I finally convinced her that Andy
has been dead for 10 years and although I'm aware of Howard Stern doing some
pretty outlandish things, bringing people back to life just isn't one of them.
Come to find out, it was Andy Dick of the TV show TalkRadio.   :-)

Andrew,
 Other than Ringo and Maurice working together a bit, is there any known collaboration with Paul or John?

Thanks

Humpy Bong and The Fut weren't even one hit wonders - one single wonders
more like!

Humpy Bong were the band Colin Petersen formed after leaving The Bee Gees.
They included singer/songwriter Jonathan Kelly who Colin later produced and
managed.

The Fut - were originally assumed to be The Bee Gees with The Beatles, hence
this songs inclusion on a few Beatles bootlegs.

It is in fact Maurice Gibb, Billy Lawrie (Lulu's brother), Steve Kipner and
Steve Groves (both of Tin Tin). This single was made whilst all four were
apparently extremely drunk.

Thanks for the info Andrew. Now that I know there IS a connection, I`m 
curious to hear the single by The Fut but, I guess, as the book title 
suggests, its pretty rare.

I am seeing a few messages that tell us you hear the Bee Gees on oldies 
stations.  Does anyone hear their newer stuff (Stillwaters, Size Isn't 
Everything, etc. ) on the radio anywhere?  I am not among some of the luckier 
people.  I occasionally hear a Bee Gee tune on our oldies station and very, 
very seldom on the pop stations.  I have made tons of requests to the pop 
stations to no avail.  I live in Phoenix, Arizona which is a huge country 
music town.

I'm surprised at how often I hear the older BeeGee's songs on the radio
where I live. Their music is also played quite often in the malls and other
stores. It seems the songs that are played the most are "I Started A Joke",
"To Love Somebody",& "Massachusetts". I don't recall ever hearing anything
from "Still Waters" or "Size Isn't Everything" or any of the newer stuff.

Oh, Rosie, it wasn't aimed at you.  If you remember, I'M a reference librarian.  I
was poking fun at myself and didn't realize it might apply to someone else.  I'm
