An incredible musician and a Buddhist. I saw him last year. He and Esperanza Spaulding wrote an opera and it was fabulous! He came out at the end to talk to the audience and received a standing ovation for 10 minutes. What a creative genius!

Emiko, Tanjobi Omdetou!

Welcome back! Hope to see you at hopefully the next concert in Leeds. Diane

So sorry this is late...Bill, I know how difficult this is for you as I still think about Chuck Bird passing - six months after Ian past. My loving and peaceful thoughts are with you and Emiko. I am sooooo thankful to have seen and heard Harold and Bill play together and to be surrounded by the Bill Nelson family, friends and fans that evening. It was magical!

Orpheus in Ultraland, After the Satellite Sings, Return to Jazz lights, Practically Wired, Mr. Mercury, Quiet Bells, Luxury Lodge, Romance of the Sustain...Oh my gosh....there's so many....not able to name them all! Have fun, Still!

Don't know if this counts...L.A. Opera's production of Robert Devereux by Donizetti. Don't think I can fit the whole cast in my house!

Usually it's vodka, but I've been polishing off my absinthe, port, gin, bourbon, wine, etc. Trying to clear my liquor cabinet to add more exciting stuff. Will try and make my own bitters and liqueur with kumquats if I have time in the next few weeks.

The Queen of Vodka!

Elton John at Dodger Stadium.

Gang of Four/Andy Gill was one of my favorites. I use to play 'Entertainment' on KSPC 88.7 back in the late '70's where I discovered Bill too and played lots of Red Noise By the way, just read a tribute to Andy Gill on Pitchfork...I didn't know that Andy and John were at Leeds University and forming the band. The talked politcs and art in of all places a bohemian pub called... The Fenton! https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/remembering-gang-of-fours-andy-gill-who-ripped-punk-to-shreds/

Great to hear from you Axe Victim! Not sure the plans for Saturday afternoon lunch/drinks, but it sounds good to me. Will let you know via the forum or maybe by text if one of us has you number. Have a safe trip everyone! Di

Cool! Looking forward to seeing you 'Pod hopefully on Friday night. And, hoping other Nelson fans will come by the Raddisson Blu.

My first Bill Nelson concert was the Red Noise Tour, 1981 at the Whiskey in Los Angeles. I don't have a ticket, but I got to interview Bill for KSPC FM. I will never forget watching Bill walking around the pool (kings row hotel, in West Hollywood, I think) listening to his Walkman with headphones! That was the first time I ever saw a Walkman!
