Greetings to one and all from Tranquility Base.


In case i didn't mention it before, Whimsy is available at Voiceprint,
and orders are being taken for the "Flashlight Dreams and Fleeting
Shadows" DVD. i have updated the Discography and Record Store pages
to reflect both of these additions. Here are some links:

And now a few words from Alan Myers:

1a. News - Nelsonica 03

Tickets for this very special event are selling fast. To guarantee
your place at Nelsonica don't delay and book now.

I have had quite a few e-mails asking me about who will be playing in
the Band on Bill's tour in Sept/ Oct. The answer to that one is
NO-ONE! Bill is touring solo. The only chance you have of seeing Bill
perform with a band this year to date is at Nelsonica 03. Last year he
and The Lost Satellites performed six numbers in all, including two Be
Bop numbers. Although the band performance is not yet guaranteed,
there is a strong possibility that it will happen.

Nelsonica is quite different from 'The Romance of Sustain' tour. It is
a 2 day festival celebrating the works of Bill Nelson. There are many
events including a performance by Honeytone Cody (maybe with a guest
appearance by a certain someone but we'll have to wait and see), a
Solo set with Bill at the helm and the possibility of a band
performance again. In between the live performances, there is a chance
to preview new and very rare material, view new videography and
participate in auctions, quizzes and the Grand Prize Draw. There is
also an opportunity for you to meet the man himself to get your Luxury
Lodge CD signed. As if that's not enough there's also..... I've
rattled for long enough. Have a look at the Nelsonica 03 page at RWBV
for more details and to see a copy of the provisional timetable....

This album is a real 'must have' for Bill Nelson fans. I have been
fortunate enough to have been listening to it for a while now. The
album works on several different levels and contains amongst other
things some STUNNING guitar work. You won't be disappointed. Every
second is a treat.

Track Listing:

1: FLUX OF DESIRE.
2: GOLDEN BALLOON.
3: RELAXIN' WITH BILL AT LUXURY LODGE.
4: I SWEAR THAT THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING MOVED.
5: THE BIRDS IN THE SKY SAY HI!
6: SMOKE AND VINE.
7: PRETTY LITTLE BUBBLE OF DREAMS.
8: HANK AND DUANE IN REVERBLAND.
9: WONDER OF THE MOMENT.
10: MOON ROCKET HIGHWAY.

As the observant amongst you will have already noticed, the album
contains some material that has been bootlegged in the past as well as
studio versions of previously unreleased live tracks. The rest of the
album is made up of new and archive material. For your information
'Wonder of the Moment' is the correct title given to the superb little
tune that has been doing the bootleg rounds as 'Time and Distance'.
Don't miss out on this album. Not only will it rapidly become a
collector's item, it is truly a superb collection of music and will
feature heavily in your playlists.

the URL's correct!
