Encore

[starfield]

Just to put the record straight, the encore was to have been Born to Go
followed by/segued into Orgone Accumulator.

Hello and Happy New Year to all the people who enjoyed Astoria. It was
certainly enjoyable on stage.

Thanks also to the people who bought or complemented me on the Starfield
CD's (whoever you are).

For my part, I thought Ron Tree was excellent.  Who else could have sung
Flying Doctor, High Rise and Spirit of the Age?

And to those people that knock him, wasn't there some flak in 1976 when Bob
re-joined the band and everybody wanted to hear Dave Brock doing vocals
again?

Captain Bl at ck.
