        I realise it's taken me a long time to get to some of these mails,
but I'm still, even after this delay, incredulous to the point of
scepticism about this. I don't believe the Animals have reformed, nor
Grand Funk nor Iron Butterfly (especially given that one of their members
is dead and two of the others are in the actually reformed Captain
Beyond). Though I could be wrong. I didn't believe Edgar Winter was still
in the business either, and I didn't know the Moody Blues were still
functional and I thought Fleetwood Mac had finally finally quit too.

        And I thought that Carole King was dead but I can't find anything
that says so where I'd expect it so perhaps I'm wrong. Nonetheless, I find
the combination difficult to believe. Am I too sceptical and it
really is that amazing? Or is someone making things up? Yours,
                                                                Jon
