The sad thing is it's always in the run up to Christmas that things like this happen to people you know. It happened to my Father so i have every sympathy with his family and close friends.

They say these things come in threes...let's just hope it's not a member of the band who goes next.

SquueegeedThirdEye...PM me with your approximate location in KY if you like...I'm across the river in Illinois and frequent the Paducah, Kentucky area.

I'm always looking for musicians to collaborate with.

It's the first time that i am posting something. I am very upset with Michael Kamen dead. I meet him during the recording of the David Guilmour concerts in London. He was one the most friendly persons i ever meet.That night also i meet Steve O'Rourke and i did not liked him at all. He was with his entourage and when we said that we came from Brazil to watch the concerts he replaid that he came from Paddington and they all laugh....(I forgot him anyway). But Michael Kamen save the day. He signed ours posters and vinils with some Portuguese words and said that if we wanted to speak with Bob Ezrin, and pointed to a car, than opened the door of the car and we could speak with the men himself...Bob was very friendly and signed a lot of things... I never will forget that !!! Michael Kamen was a very great man. That's all i can say...
