Subject: Re: Barry Mail Interview
Yes, thanks, Ann, so much for your time and trust in giving us your=20
information. Somehow it is comforting to know Barbara is still in=20
Robin's apartment; kinda like a piece of him is still around in the air=20
in Miami. This clarifies some things, brings up questions on others. =20
What was Robin's reaction when others pointed out that Barry showed no=20
inclination of working with him? If Robin was that concerned about=20
Barry's reaction to those projects, why did he not pick up the phone (or=20
fly to Miami to visit) to clarify what Barry thought about whatever the=20
idea was. At least that way, Barry would know Robin cared about what he=20
thought a lot and would know how badly Robin wanted to work with him. =20
Now, maybe Robin did call/visit, maybe Barry did know all of this but my=20
inclination is to think that they did not. I also wonder if Robin held=20
out so much hope for so long because Barry was, for the most part,=20
inactive musically. If Barry had done the solo work he has done since=20
Robin died while he lived, would Robin have finally realized that Barry=20
was not interested and moved on?
I am so sad on many different levels to hear about all the projects=20
Robin either went along with but did not want to or postponed or=20
declined. I am sad for Robin that he could not make his own life=20
professionally which, I think, would have been incredibly satisfying for=20
him; he did not have to have an organized solo career as such but he=20
could have just done projects as they came down the pike. Yasmine

Subject: Re: Unreleased songs.
A number of us have that song as a favourite. I love it too. Given the
response, it was really too bad it was not included on TIWICI, even as a
extra song on the TIWICI single. All we have is a fairly crappy quality
mp3 file. I appreciate whomever snuck out that file but I can only
imaging how good it sounds on cd quality with a lot of the missing
pieces due to compression back in. Anyway, it is a wonderful song. For
those who have not heard it, it should be on youtube. Yasmine
