I am sorry, too. And grateful that he was able to propel the brothers
into wide release, etc.... I am sad that he never really said anything
about his experiences with the Bee Gees and what they were like,
ect.... God Speed, Robert. Yasmine

Subject: Barry/Robert -- 1st of May
Barry responds to Robert's death in People.com: " Every time the first of May comes around I will think of you and I will miss your phone call. We shared so many wonderful moments. I will never forget you my dear friend."
I always thought he wrote 'Words' for Stigwood and 1st of May for his dog Barnaby?
Bette Hanson, dazed and confused in chilly Philly, not that being confused is such a bad thing...
