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.

Just dropped by to say Hi and wish everyone a great week ! Hope you're all enjoying September weather. Here in Canada it getting cool already but the leaves sure do get pretty! Looking forward to Thanksgiving soon (Yummm) ;)
If YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S ... ? You had
that Fisher Price Doctor 's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. ? ? ? You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a
plastic basket with flowers on it. ? You
learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal
wheels. ? ? You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute
(admit it!) ? ? ? You had nightmares after watching FantasyIsland. ? ? You had
rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days. YEAH! ~ You ?owned
a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler head
more than once. ? ? ? ? You owned ?"Klick-Klacks" and
smacked yourself in the face more than once. ? ? ? You had either a "bowl cut" or
"pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". People
sometimes thought you were a boy. ? Your Holly
Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. ? ? You wore a
poncho, gauchos, and knickers. ? You begged Santa for the electronic game,
Simon. ? You had
the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded
outfits. ? You spent hours in your backyard on your
metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once. ? ? You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every
imaginable color. (Oh yeah!) ? You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals
(the ones with hard sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water
sandals. ?(is this an east coast thing??) ? You wanted
to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the
Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one
school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson! ? You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller
rink.! ? Your
hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers"
and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back
pocket. ? ? ? ~ When you walked, the "wings"
flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna "take off" ? You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well
as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie. ? You
carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. With the
thermos inside! ? You and
your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your
boyfriend. ? YOU had
Star Wars action figures, too! ? It was a big event in your household each
year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break
out the popcorn and sleeping bags! ? You often asked your Magic-8 ball the
question: "Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David
Cassidy..?" ? You
completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack
record album. ? You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like
yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made
on a plastic loom. ? You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on
kittens on your t-shirts! ? You used
to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to
the speaker. ? You had
subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat. ? ? You learned everything you needed to know
about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me,
Margaret.) ? You
thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics. ? You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes,
or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs. ? You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. ? ? ? You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft -
which was ?the first "real" perfume you ever owned .. . ? ~ you
glopped your lips in Strawberry Roll-on lip gloss till it almost dripped off.
? PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR 30 OR
40-SOMETHING GIRLFRIENDS. IT WILL MAKE THEM
SMILE TOO!!!!
'STEWARDESSES' IS THE LONGEST WORD TYPED WITH ONLY THE LEFT
HAND AND 'LOLLIPOP;' WITH YOUR RIGHT. (BET YOU TRIED THIS OUT MENTALLY DIDN'T
YOU?)
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
IN 'DOUS'. TREMENDOUS, HORRENDOUS, STUPENDOUS, AND HAZARDOUS.
This is lovely and soooo true !! Thanks so much Connie - its also very timely as my son and nephew just had their university grad yesterday...a special day for us all ! I'll share this with them too :)
Hugs

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