Firstly let me say, on behalf of all your fans in the UK George,
how
sorry we all are to hear of your loss. I know how painful the loss of a loved
one can be but please realise that your
mother is now in a better place
and free of pain. I know that the bottom seems to have fallen out of your
world, but you must
be strong and help your sisters and your father
through this difficult time. Time is what you need at the moment.
My Prayers
are with you.
Peace.
Nick Ford.
Now for the YOGMAEL !
Since this is my first time writing in, let me tell you a
bit about myself.
I am 29 and live in London. I have been a fan of George since the age
of 14 when my father bought me a
copy of 'Bad Boys' while I was in hospital.
Following this 'conversion' I became a huge fan of Wham! and then later
George as
a solo artist. My favourite George track is 'Careless Whisper'
and my favourite Wham! track is 'Everything she Wants'. I have
seen
George twice live - once with Wham! on Christmas Eve 1984 at Wembley
Arena and the second time on his 'Cover to Cover'
tour, again at Wembley.
Living in London it is good for hearing news about George both through the
press and also through a
local radio station, Capital Radio, who seem to
have a good relationship with George - for example they played 'Jesus to
a
Child' over a year before it was released to raise money for charity.
Something that may be of interest to all of you in the
US - I am willing (
for
a short time only ) to send out copies of an interview that appeared in a
magazine here in the UK
called The Big Issue. George gave his first
interview for about 5 years to this magazine as they help homeless people.
The
idea is that registered homeless people can buy copies of this
magazine for 40 pence per copy and then they sell it for 80 pence
on the
street. George seems to like this idea since it encourages self-help and
he seemed not to be too keen to give an
interview to the mainstream
press, because of the way they have treated him in the past. Also, again
if anyone is interested,
I am willing to record the Wexler mix of Careless
Whisper onto tape ( not sure if it was released in the US ? )
For either
of these offers you can e-mail me at :
nick.ford-at-cyberzone.co.uk
Also I would love to have an e-mail 'pen pal' to talk
about George or other
topics. Please anyone let me know if you are interested ( e-mail address
is given above )
Well
thats all for now folks !
Lastly I would like to thank Amanda for all her hard work producing
YOGMAEL. Keep up the good
work !

Hello
Amanda,
Unfortunatly I cant' go to the GM weekend because of my financial
problems. A ticket to the States is much too
expensive for me. Would it
be an idea to organise a weekend also in Europe? I'm sure a lot of fans
in Europa too, so we'll have a really good organizer. Amanda, do you
know
anyone like that?
take care, Mariska
people
on here that think a lot like I do... Anyone who's interested in
setting up a Euro YM Weekend '97 let me know, and I'll help you
all I
can. AG)

Dear
Amanda,
Even though I'm not on it I still read your
fabby mailing list. (My email
won't accept Yogmael. It doesn't like GM's beard.) I've put some GM
pages up on Geocities
(http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/9988)
and hope
somebody reading Yogmael might visit them, even if just to tell me
how rubbish they are and point out the many many
typos. They're not
finished but I hope to keep more up to date news than Tim's site. There
are some old interviews and
articles too. Thanks very much!
Frogette!

Hi Amanda,
to let you all know what he asked me to do:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear
Rose
how impressed we are, I think having a a link to
our site is an
extremely thoughtful thing to do , I just thought you might be able to
help us, as you probably know that our
site is in it's early stages of
development and will be undergoing radical changes. Particularily in
the audio and video
areas. The stages of development are being
planned and changes will be visible shortly, so please let your net-pals
know that
if their patient it will be worth the wait.

committed to making Aegean net the best it could possibly be.
I just
wanted to let you all know!!!!
it's constantly under construction since January 1997
VIDEO. I have taped the OLDER Vid several times from MTV
London so the
only problem is shipping and the format from
Germany. I don't know anything about that. Please let me know!
Austrian
Yoggers, please or can I find all them in the Header of
Yogmael or are there more? Maybe you could help me in getting in
touch
with them. With some of them I am already in touch.
see both in the To and CC boxes of the list you receive. But to make
things real easy: WOULD ANYONE IN EUROPE

Thanks. AG)

sacrifice
for your Yogmael-Family and the whole energy you put in that
project. It's all for GEORGE, the same to me with working on my page
and
staying in touch with my net-pals in Europe. Because I admire him
as the great musician he is in our days.
don't
lose any sleep anymore, don't worry. YM is now a science that
requires
no more than 60 minutes a day. My personal mail is another matter, as
anyone who writes me knows...there is a 2 month
backlog on that... AG)

He is the leader of a music style called

It's been a month or so since I have been on-line , what a shock it
was
to find out the horrible news about GM 's mum { and at such a
young age as well } . It seems as though George has had some
major
crashes in his life . I only hope that this one doesn't make
him sink to the bottom . Everyones' responses have been quite
lovely
and upbuilding . I never realised that the readers were so intense .

Dear Amanda, Please Post
Thanks for posting all those great
messages.It is awesome to find out
people still love George as much as me. I was so sorry to find out
about his mother. I had
no idea, being new on this internet thing, and
just now getting into george's web sites.
I would like to know if anybody out
there has George's autobiography.
and could tell me where i could get it. I have been looking for three
years no end, and
still none in sight.
I live in New York, which sucks because George is not so big in the
U.S.If anybody has any info. or would
just like to talk, e-mail me
anytime.
Renee
