I'd prefer to NOT be able to say that Daniel Bell & I outdrew someone of FK's stature for a fraction of his fee. Francois was a professional and gentleman throughout, even if he was playing to only 2 people on the floor at the end of the night. We ended up having breakfast @ the hotel instead of going right to sleep. He bitched about the state of UK trance DJ's taking over the universe. I was in total agreement. He even helped carry my equipment when we left for the airport.
Of course, he doesn't even remember who I am now...... telepathic regards, The Kooky Scientist -- Upcoming Live Electronic Demonstrations: None -------------------------------------------------------------- TELEPATHICA - P.O.B.80337 - Boston, MA 02180-0010 PH 978.741.8901 http://www.mp3.com/fredgiannelli http://www.telepathica.com ******New E-addresses********* [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
