So he didn't ignore it; he asked and was given advice that he didn't have to worry. (Until, obviously, years later, when he had severe abdominal pains which led to the discovery of the same condition.) Now that his kids know, yes, here's hoping they'll all be spared the same fate. And no, I don't think selling Robin's Miami property represents a cutting of ties with Barry in any way. Robin and Dwina have always considered The Prebendal their real home, and it's understandable if Dwina now feels no need for property in Miami. Barry, however, seems more comfortable in the US (and Australia - hey, maybe he'll move back there!). Anne -----Original Message----- They've known this since Mo's death...and apparently ignored it. Do you think Dwina's sale of the Miami home means a cutting of ties with Barry, et al.? -Joy Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 11:26:44 -0400 From: Anne Simpson <bgfan@bell.net> Subject: Re: Blue Plaque Unveiling for Robin - Gabriella I'll try later, when I've time to compose my thoughts and see if I can add to what others have already written. It's kind of hard on the fly, while travelling, and I've not yet had a chance to download my photos of the event.

Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 11:39:57 -0400 From: Anne Simpson <bgfan@bell.net> Subject: Re: Barry Gibb all done with the Bee Gees I don't agree for one minute that Barry could have accomplished more as a solo artist. The three of them needed each other, fed off each other's creativity and shared dreams. When Barry got a chance to go solo, he essentially flopped (much to my surprise). It seems that as they matured, and with Mo's death, he and Robin just couldn't agree on a shared creative path. But that still didn't lead to a successful solo career for Barry, did it? He just seemed to retire in that ratty old sweater, while Robin toured his little heart out. At least, that's how I see it. Any problems seem to have arisen from rights to songs - giving credit where credit was due etc. It was sad in the Australian interview Barry just gave that he said all his brothers died at a time when they weren't getting along. I wondered what the problem might have been with Maurice (never having heard of him being in conflict w Barry) and can only think of the business aspects of their career. And Robin - was it upset at Robin wanting to perform with him again, or upset at him not having gotten medical treatment earlier? Maybe only the family and close friends know. I don't know what you mean by, "Barry was not happy with the fact that he could not mention the 'Grammy' he won with Streisand." Couldn't mention it to whom? It's well known! And in any event, that was decades ago. There had to be more going on. If he was done with the Bee Gees, I suspect it was after Mo died and he and Robin dealt with their grief very differently. But Barry has recently shown he still has the hunger, and I suspect THAT is a reaction to Rob's death - as in, get up and DO while you still can! Anne -----Original Message----- From: Chris Mathis Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 6:54 PM To: words List Member Subject: [words] Barry Gibb all done with the Bee Gees I have said this on the list before... I had a friend say to me a long time ago that Barry could have done so much more if he was a solo artist... While, looking at Barry's solo sales, and the collaborative successes of the Brothers together, I don't know if that would have been true. But I do know that he would have been able to get all the credit for what HE would have done, instead of having to "share" the spotlight, with perhaps his brothers. For example, it has been questioned how much Maurice was available on Spirits. It has also widely known that Barry was not happy with the fact that he could not mention the 'Grammy' he won with Streisand. Part of me really thinks that Barry was sooooo over the Bee Gees and working with any of his brothers, and that working with Robin again would never have happened. At least with his children, he could satisfy the musical need, and be in control. Again, just a thought...

Thanks for the video link; it was lovely. Anne -----Original Message----- Mary-Jess performance of Don't Cry Alone at The Prebendal Garden Party after Blue Plaque unveiling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1gMXiQWcQI Genny Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 11:48:03 -0400 From: Anne Simpson <bgfan@bell.net> Subject: Re: Barry Gibb all done with the Bee Gees Yeah, that sounds about right. Different priorities at this time of their lives. But one might have hoped for a "one-off" or two. Alas, it's all speculation now, and I doubt anyone is more haunted by that than Barry. Anne -----Original Message----- I agree-he may have done a few concerts to appease Robin but as far as anything new it was not going to happen, They were going in different musical directions, Barry did not want to dedicate as much of his life to the Bee Gees anymore, and without Maurice there as a buffer between them it was not going to be a good experience for either of them.
