Greetings to one and from Tranquility Base.


Whimsy is now available for sale, through the Voiceprint web site
and Amazon (US and UK). This is a two CD set with over 70 minutes
of music on each disc. i'm currently listening to it and can
strongly recommend it from the bits i've heard. Links can be found
here:

Nelsonica tickets are almost gone. Alan says there a few left and
expects to sell out in a couple of weeks. A number of people are
under the impression that Bill's "Romance of Sustain" tour in
Sep/Oct will feature Bill with a band. Sorry to pop your bubble,
but the "Romance" shows are with Bill and backing tapes only. [Not
that that is a bad deal...] If you want to see Bill play with a
band the ONLY place it MIGHT (i repeat, MIGHT) happen will be at
Nelsonica. None of the other shows will feature a band. NONE.

A band with Bill at Nelsonica is not guaranteed, but definitely on
the "X-mas Wish List." Last years perfomance with The Lost
Satellites was a tremendous hit with both the fans and Bill. And an
appearance with a band at Nelsonica is still a possibility. So
Nelsonica is your only chance to see that happen.

In addition, Nelsonica will feature a showing of "Flashlight
Dreams", a performance by Honeytone Cody [well worth the show],
drawings of some extremely rare memorabilia, an auction of artwork
by Bill, a CD of last year's Lost Satellites concert show and other
bits of fun. A good time is guaranteed to all.
