Greetings to one and all from Tranquility Base! Did you think i'd
forgotten you?


Bird here, back at the old typewriter banging away on the keys. So,
how've you been? Heard any good jokes lately?

Now that i've broken the ice i guess i could give you the reason for
this re-intrusion into your life! There IS a purpose to all this you
know.

Bill made mention on the Dreamsville Chat Site
(http://www.billnelsonmusic.com/html/park/inn.php) that he would be
interested in attending a US version of Nelsonica. i won't go into
more details than that, that is what this Electrical Language is all
about. i've been working with a few folk who are passionate in their
desire to get Bill over here for such a purpose and i support them
wholeheartedly. i'm taking a few minutes from your busy day to ask
you to give them a listen to.

The following words are from Peter Coloumbe, who is heading up this
effort. Take it away Pete:

********************************************************************
"If you build a convention...I will come!"
********************************************************************

With these words, Bill Nelson has offered a good-natured challenge to
Nelsonians in the New World to put together their own Nelsonica fan
convention. It would be a rare opportunity to gather with other fans,
meet Bill personally, hear him play, get a special limited-edition
convention CD and much more.

To make it happen will require a lot of hard work. The first step is
to determine how much genuine interest there is in having such an
event somewhere in the U.S. If there is not enough interest, it simply
will not happen.

How can you let us know if you would be interested in attending? By
completing our quick, confidential online Nelsonica North American
Planning Questionnaire! Please complete the survey even if you voted
in the poll posted on the Dreamsville forums in November.

Here's the link:

http://www.vmrsite.com/nelson_survey/

If we can get enough interest to encourage us to move ahead, you may
one day be able to sit down with other Nelsonians and listen to the
latest creations of Bill Nelson, live and in person.

What could be better than that?

Please complete the questionnaire today!*

Thanks – and stay young!


Peter, Phil, Scott and Martin

*Just one per Nelsonian, please; no ballot box stuffing allowed!
**************************************************************************

So there you have it. Pete's words, a link to the survey site, and a
description of what is going on. This will be a BIG thing so please
give it the proper attitude in your life.

Always here to be thought of, even when i don't think.
