Did anyone else notice Dr. Mays loves Holst (okay, so it's not me). [grins evily] Was waiting to see how long it would take you to notice!! Just slightly surprised his choice was Saturn and not Jupiter. Always thought ol Jove was the better piece. |

I think the new BB changes give more power to the fans, and hence a move in the right direction. Radio can and does ignore our requests, but we have control over our own streaming. With the degree of dedication shown by Adam's fans, these new rules should help him.

I had a very long "to do" list and was very busy (not Easter related). |

I attended Summerthing in Golden Gate Park in SF last summer. When I arrived in the park at 8AM there were approximately 25 people already there and they had arrived at 5:30 AM. Everyone had brought beach chairs and blankets and staked out their claim close to the stage. Everyone was friendly and would save your space if you needed to use the restroom or get some food. The first musical act took the stage at 12:00 and the climate in the crowd changed immediately. There was a big push forward and many interlopers trying to press in from the sides. I stayed in the same spot (2nd row) for the next 3.5 hours until Adam came on. When Adam came on there was another surge forward and a pressing in from the sides and some arguments broke out with the interlopers. It was well worth the waiting time to see Adam that day. He was so loose and happy considering that he had just flown in from his rehearsal week with Queen and had to be back in London the next day. My advice in the crowd is to make friends with those around you and to band together to repell the interlopers. Be prepared to not use the bathroom for up to 4 hours. What did people do with their beach chairs during the concert? |

Well, I didn't see people taking up Q3's challenge of desert island disks. I'm not sure I can name music in order of preference and I haven't thought about it much, but here goes.
1. The Rite of Spring, Stravinsky
2. Broken Open, AFL
3. Who Wants to Live Forever, AFL
4. Mars, Bringer of War, Holst (of course)
5. Violin Sonata in D minor, Brahms
6. I'm too tired to think of any more . . .
