	Something I was meaning to canvass opinion on, but forgot. If 
you navigate through the first of those webpages to where Mr Wallis 
actually discourses about the gig, he writes:

"Oh yeah, an airplane ticket is being bought for a gunslinger from
outta town, who`s help on these kinda occasions has always proved 
invaluable in the past, but we`ll only bring him on if the joint is sold 
out. He don`t need no steeeeenkin` half-assed rooms amigos."

	Now my first thought was that this must be Mick Farren, because 
of the Wild West references mainly, but then I realised that that's kind 
of Larry Wallis's natural idiom, and besides the full-house condition 
sounds unusually prima donna for Mick, who'll happily play to a bookshop 
with four people in it. Now as soon as I say prima donna, of course 
there springs to mind Twink, but I was under the impression that Larry 
was having no more to do with him because he is "the most unstable 
madman in the history of the Universe", as he put it in the interview 
where I understood this from. So now I'm not sure whom they mean. Twink 
might well only come on if the house was full because he is, er, 
difficult about profit-sharing or so I am advised, so that sounds 
likely, but.

	Hell, I don't even know which to *hope* for :-) Any ideas or 
information? Yours,
		    Jon
