1I'd watch it if it came on TV out of curiosity, but I wouldn't go and see it in the cinema: it's a sad situation. MJ was supposed to be playing here in my city of London until next spring.Are you going to the limited engagement Michael Jackson movie?
2I would probably have a restless night, and then go into a deep sleep in the small hours, and then struggle to get up after having repeatedly hit the snooze button. Once up though, I'd be fine after a short while of wandering around like a zombie.Imagine that you have to wake up early e,g 4.00am, which of the following type of person are you?
3I'd probably e-mail the teacher, and explain that the kid was in the right and what was he or she thinking by making such a flagrant error; although I'd also ensure that my kid know that telling adults they're lying is rude and wrong.How would you react if you received the following note from your kid's teacher?
4My talent would be singing.

PS. I've auditioned for several talent shows including the X Factor! Only once did I come close to any kind of success, when I reached the finals of a singing comp. at a local night club...I was handed the chorus to the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" and decided to improvise around it rather than sing the melody straight, to a chorus of boos from the audience. One of the comperes then turned to me and said: "You blew it, Carl". He seemed genuinely upset when he said it, as if he knew I should have won.
If you were going to audition for a talent show, what would your talent be?
5Thank you for the encouragement. Jim would be flattered to hear that; Grapelli was a master. You're right: Pop culture is not the right arena for our kind of music. Many ask me why we're not playing live; but it was conceived as a recording project. The '20s theme angle is an excellent one: there is plenty of nostalgia for that era today in many big cities. I love your hyper-imaginative descriptions of a possible costume for me; you write amazingly well! And the clothes described sound fabulous...and I'd love to wear them, although as you say it'd have to be the right venue. In some of the places near me, I'd not go down too well in such admittedly splendid attire! Thanks for your reply, Krystal...both encouraging and highly entertaining...thanks!If you were going to audition for a talent show, what would your talent be?
6I know what you're saying: free distribution has its drawbacks. And you're right: swing-style music has a limited audience. I'm not familiar with Planxty (I'll have a listen at youtube), but have always loved Al Stewart, at least the albums I've heard: I remember "Love Chronicles" as a kid; caused a bit of a stir with what was still quite graphic language for the day... My favourite is probably "Time Passages". I had a listen to your music today: it's different from mine to say the least, but I enjoyed it. It defies comparison (which is good: so much avant garde music today is derivative) but some of it put me in mind of Stockhausen, and some at times, also Beefheart; Syd Barrett. And of course, Fripp who you mention. But ultimately it's pretty unique, with elements of Blues, Jazz, experimental. I got quite spaced out once or twice which I didn't expect. Thanks again for your encouragement re. my songs: I think playing live has got to be the way forward!If you were going to audition for a talent show, what would your talent be?
7I think they are a great idea, although they are expensive. I've only ever read one myself: it was a bad night and I needed to have something to occupy myself 'til morning. It did the trick. When you're low, they can be a great distraction.What are your thoughts on E-Book readers?
8No, never. I've a youtube account, but I can't afford a camcorder, or even the right kind of mobile phone, otherwise I'd post a video of me singing and playing the guitar. And anyway, I'm a techno-neanderthal.Have you ever posted a video on YouTube?
9I'd like to make a video someday soon. You Tube is the best there is these days in terms of displaying your work...thanks for the encouragement.Have you ever posted a video on YouTube?
10I use Face Book and My Space most; but I'm with several others. Face Book is wonderful for old and new friends and for generally exchanging information; My Space is great for music and networking. I love 'em both...I still can't get over how incredible the internet is...considering how restricted the world once was. As a singer and songwriter, I can remember having to send cassette tapes through the post knowing I'd never see them again and yet not caring! Now I can post an MP3 knowing it'll be heard by someone! the difference to me is mindboggling!
