Yes you've caught me out Chris. I've been with Giffords for 3 years. Have tried to sneak in relics of my obsessions each year. It was Nan True's Hole first...
... Wow - another WGTB fan! If if weren't for that (dearly missed!!) radio station, I never would have heard ANY Canterbury school music! God rest your good...
Well, Peter Banks is not so famous, but he is well known. He actually asked me to play in SOFT WORKS/SOFT MACHINE LEGACY after Allan Holdsworth couldn't do it,...

Where did you read that about Blair? He's suddenly gone up in my estimation - he's certainly the right age (ie the same as me!) to have liked those bands. I...
... This intrigued me, so a quick search later, I have revealed the following quote from the good Captain's myspace site ... "As a schoolkid in the 60's I...
Haven't listened to any Yes in the last few years, but I can see how fans/musicians of Yes, especially early Yes with Bruford, would like/love Soft Machine,...
That was all a ploy! John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon was a huge Can fan, which really showed in Public Image Ltd (PiL) & when the Pistols reformed they did...
I once saw a message from the Captain on Dave Stewart's visitors' book from the Captain saying how much he used to love Egg. When I talked to Pip Pyle about...
Greetings Rattlers. Am I right in thinking that the good Captain's hit 'Happy Talk', a No.1 hit in the UK in June '82 which was definitely not punk, was...
Hey Rattlers! Coming out of lurkdom to ask if Joerg was a member of this list, as he passed away on October 26th. I know he was a big Egg fan (I did some...
Hi Dan: I'm very saddened to hear this. I had a few off-line email exchanges with Joerg and found him to be a kind, sensitive wonderful guy. And quite a lover...
Fellow Rattlers, I feel I need some more Gong in my life and was wondering if anybody had any recommendations on some of the more obscure branches of the Gong...
I agree that sometimes it seems, as great as PMG were (Pierre Moerlen's Gong, not Pat Metheny Group or Permanent Magnet Generator or Postmaster General...),...
... Don't really understand why, on this list people don't use their real names, fill in the 'from' field, and sign their messages... Most odd. Jon [I guess...

I've just seen news that the fourth Panzerpappa album is out, and features Richard Sinclair on one track. See <http://www.panzerpappa.com/news.htm>. I don't...
Dear Rattlers, The flying teapot came down from Planet Gong and decided to take residency in the Melkweg (milky way) which happened to be in the same town I...
Sorry for the self promotion aspect but I DO find it unbelievable that after so many years, people still ask this question - even more worrying when they are...

I need to check out the Captain. Robyn Hitchcock used to write with him. Anyway, if he likes Soft Machine, then he's OK in our book. Cheers Bruce...
