Chillout Productions proudly announces that The Bee Gees’ very own Mr. Robin Gibb will be performing live all the Bee Gees classic hits at the 6th Skywards Dubai International Jazz Festival on March 1, 2008.
About Robin Gibb For most of his life Robin Gibb has been a principal member of one of the most celebrated songwriting teams and recording groups of all time: The Bee Gees. His legendary status, along with his brothers Barry and Maurice, has long been established worldwide.
Robin's trademark ethereal voice has been a key identity in the Bee Gees sound, and he moulded his own musical identity with a number of solo releases, including the number one hits Saved by the Bell and Juliet. Robin continuously develops new songs and ideas in his home studio, occasionally writing for and producing other artists, and adds his distinct vocals to selected projects, some of these for charities.
Robin lives on the
Isle of Man with his wife, Irish artist and author Dwina Murphy-Gibb and they have one son together, Robin-John. He has two children, Spencer and Melissa, from a previous marriage.
When not on the road or recording, he loves to read and take long walks in his beautiful gardens and surrounding grounds. He is an active promoter of the interests of young songwriters and musicians and many a charity can count on his and his wife Dwina's time and fervour.
Stay tuned for more details on the tickets, and final line up.

New Member - Cheer for me!
Hi All. All I wanted to do was to find a group who
loved the Brothers
Gibb as much as I did - I have seen the posts -- and it looks like that
you all talk about a great deal more than just one subject - which
makes me want to know you all more. I am an american archeologist - 38
years old - and I work for the Federal government. My childhood and
adolescence was completely covered by the Bee Gees - and Andy - and I
miss it. Every day.
Please let Connie I am worthy - and I promise no ridiculous spam or
anything else that will cloud the blog site.
I just wanna meet people with the same love for the Brothers Gibb.

It's been 30 years since the Bee Gees released Saturday Night Fever, one of the best selling pop albums of all time and the best-selling soundtrack ever.
The Gibb family came from humble roots on the Isle of Man but the Bee Gees grew to be the fifth best-selling act of all time.
Robin Gibb talks about how the loss of his brother Maurice still affects him and why he thinks the Bee Gees sound is still popular to this day.

'STEWARDESSES' IS THE LONGEST WORD TYPED WITH ONLY THE LEFT
HAND AND 'LOLLIPOP;' WITH YOUR RIGHT. (BET YOU TRIED THIS OUT MENTALLY DIDN'T

MAINE IS THE ONLY
STATE WHOSE NAME IS JUST ONE SYLLABLE (I'LL BET YOU'RE GOING TO CHECK THIS
OUT.)
NO WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE RHYMES WITH MONTH, ORANGE, SILVER OR PURPLE.
'DREAMT' IS THE ONLY ENGLISH WORD THAT ENDS IN THE LETTERS
'MT.'
OUR EYES ARE ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE FROM BIRTH, BUT OUR NOSE
AND EARS NEVER STOP GROWING.
THE SENTENCE: "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY
DOG" USES EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET.
THE WORDS 'RACECAR', 'KAYAK' AND 'LEVEL' ARE THE SAME
WHETHER THEY ARE READ LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT. (YEP, I KNEW YOU WERE
GOING TO 'DO' THIS ONE).
THERE ARE ONLY FOUR WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, WHICH END

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and
challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to
look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned round
to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit
up her entire being.
She said,
"Hi handsome. My name is Rose.
I'm eighty-seven
years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and
enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me
a giant squeeze.
"Why are
you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly
replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a
couple of kids..."
"No
seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be
taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always
dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she
told me.
After class we
walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became
instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class
together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this
"time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course
of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever
she went.
She loved to
dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other
students. She was living it up.
At the end of
the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.
I'll never
forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five
cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a
little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said,
"I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this
whiskey is
killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you
what I know."
As we laughed
she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we
are old; we grow old because we stop playing
There are only
four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success You have
to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream When you lose
your dreams, you die.
There is a huge
difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are
nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one
productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven
years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn
eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow
older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by
always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly
usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did
not do. The only people who fear death are those with
regrets."
She concluded
her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged
each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's
end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after
graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand
college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who
taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be
When you finish
reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and
family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have
been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER,
GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living
by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring
you through it.

Thank you, Connie, for this very important but TRUE friendship email!
It is so true that we always put off what we SHOULD do today! I will
certainly forward it to all my friends. Take care, dear, and have a
Barry nice day, my friend!
Much Barry love, always,
Linda R.
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they
haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was
coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those people on the Titanic who passed up
dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From
then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't
suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does
the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you
watched 'Jeopardy' on television?
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said , "How about going
to lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I
can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish
I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain"
And my personal favorite: "It's Monday." She died a few years
ago. We never did have lunch together.
Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our
headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves
when all the conditions are perfect!
We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve
toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room
carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of
college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter,
and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we
awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going
to," "I plan on," and "Someday, when things are settled
down a bit."
When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and
available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her
enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes,
and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip
an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream.
It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula
and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car
and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way
home, I would have died happy.
Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...not
something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only
one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you
say? ;And why are you waiting?
Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to
you.
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the
rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day
on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the
reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores
running through your head? Ever told your child, "We'll do it
tomorrow." And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost
touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say
"Hi"?
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened
gift....Thrown away.... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the
music before the song is over.
It's National Friendship and FAMILY WEEK Show your friends how much you
care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes
back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
To those I have sent this to... I cherish our friendship and appreciate all
you do.

Becky’s son did some checking into the Keith
Urban story and this is what he found out. I’m glad there is a site out
there that tries to keep things straight! I have some very good friends whose
son is part of the Canadian Military and has done time over there. I was very
offended when I read the msg as I sure most Canadians were. I have not yet met
a Canadian who would not support our American friends.
Linda C has unsub as she didn’t feel I had the
right to stand up for our fellow Canadians, that is her choice and anyone else’s
who feels that way, but I’m sure any true American, Canadian, Kiwi, Australian
etc. who be offended and stand up for themselves.
Thanks Becky for having Ryan look into this.

Hi Connie..... I was and told
Ryan about it ..he did a check on it and said its a hoax and gave me a site
that specializes in checking whether rumors are true or false:
Maurice Gibb (2001):
"Everybody has two training thoughts. It's either fear or love. Nothing in
between. It's always the one or the other. I love to live in love today. I
don't live in the negative I don't think negative. I don't pursue anything that
is negative. I don't even ask questions that are negative. I just go for what I
enjoy. And love to do what I to do. And if I am loving it then it's incredible".

CHOCOLATE SINGS
One day I had a date for lunch with friends. Mae, a little old "blue hair"
about 80 years old, came along with them---All in all, a pleasant bunch.
When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups,
except for Mae who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate.
I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. " Along
with heated apple pie," Mae added, completely unabashed.
We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time. But
when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.. I couldn't take my
eyes off Mae as her pie a-la-mode went down. The other ladies showed
dismay. They ate their lunches silently and frowned.
The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Mae. I lunched on
white meat tuna. She ordered a parfait. I smiled. She asked if she amused
me. I answered, "Yes, you do, but also you confuse me. How come you order
rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?
She laughed and said, with wanton mirth, "I'm tasting all that's Possible. I
try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. But life's so
short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good.
This year I realized how old I was. (She grinned) I haven't been this old
before."
"So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I had
ignored. I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many books I
haven't read. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown
overhead. There are many malls I haven't shopped. I've not laughed at all
the jokes.
I've missed a lot of Broadway hits and potato chips and cokes. I want to
wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want peanut butter
every day spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long distance calls
to the folks I love the most.
I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need
to feel wind in my hair. I want to fall in love again.
So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I
die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner, because I missed out on
nothing. I filled my heart's desire. I had that final chocolate mousse
before my life expired."
With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind," I said. "I
want what she is having, only add some more whipped cream!"
Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or prestige,
but on relationships with people we love and respect.
Remember that while money talks, CHOCOLATE SINGS
If you get this twice, then you have more than one friend. Live well,
love much & laugh often - Be happy.
