I have tons of books around here just waiting for me to pick them up, but the first would have to be a book borrowed from my choir director.Music: The Brain and Ecstasy

It's a hard one to read, but I should get to it.

I'm reading this thread. The post above seems interesting enough, but the subsequent reply, looks pretty dumb !  :P

Nah...not dumb.  I partially started this thread because I noticed a conversation between you and Philip about a book and partially because I just wanted one. ;)

Karma for you for being the first to respond. :)

I went to my library to find a copy of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, but not of the book where on the shelf. 

You may have to get it online.

I just read the National Enquirer while I .. er .. had to take care of some business ;D :D

I can get it from the library, I can wait.

Sometimes best to do that or get them after the last one has been read.  I ran into the trouble of having too many partially read books around.

I read the comics yesterday

Newspaper.

I intend to read one of the many Franciscan books I started.

No chance of going to the library today, it is chucking it down out there.

It's been raining a lot here too,  perfect weather for curling up with a candle, some tea, and your favorite book.

;) nice work Al, but fortunately for you, you weren't in Badfinger because if that were you in Badfinger, you would have committed suicide by hanging  :o

I hadn't registered there were 4 of them. Surely, some are still alive ?

the one in front, on the right is the lone surviving member, Joey Molland. your face is on Tom Evans. I cant remember wjhat year he hung himself, but like the title says, "the tragic story"    i need to read it.    the author lives here in the bay area and sent it himself, which was cool

Ham in '75 .... according to 'Wiki' ... and Evans in '83 (Both hangings!  :o )


Mike Gibbins died in his sleep at his home in Oviedo, Florida on October 4, 2005. He was 56.

Would you bother to see THAT version of the band ?  Not REALLY 'Badfinger' IMHO ..  like so many bands ... that sometimes have NO original members  ::)

I agree that it's Not REALLY 'Badfinger' IMHO either, but it is still Joey, and he was a part of the group when they were all together making music. most of the vocals on the recorded stuff is Pete Ham & Tom Evans, and some Joey, so now he does the lead vocals. I would go and see him and his band. yeah, I would and I will one of these days when I can :)

But you probably wouldn't want to pay GOOD money to see them ?  Or maybe not an issue .. since he IS sort of a link.

Well, as long as they sound CLOSE to the original ?

yeah, he's a link and as close as I'll ever get, if I ever do. I've seen some Youtubes of him and his band and they do try to maintain that Badfinger sound.  the more we talk about it, the more I want to get into that book.
