Re: RE: Gerard's gig

[<philip_rush@ye...fsnet.co.uk>]

I too should love a copy of this enigmatic CD (although I have no right to 
ask, really);  I heard a track from it on Late Junction 
(Radio 3) and it did sound weird.  It really did sound like Gerard Langley 
reading a favourite poem (Neruda, was it?) over an REM 
out-take without any vocals.  Surely it wasn't?

Anyway, I have tried to wriggle out of a commitment to play the fiddle in 
Berkeley but can't.  It's a wedding and the function is 
being held at a theme park (apparently) which goes by the name (deep 
breath) of Cattle Country.  

It's either that or The Cube.

Tricky.

Philip

I have an address and two rather sticky ten pound notes I got the last 
time I played my fiddle.  they can be yours !  (for a CD)
