Hi, just a quick note to apologize for that obnoxiously long issue
yesterday. I just
sent the file I had labelled as #142, I forgot that
with all the breaking news I've been juggling, and that some of
that issue
should have been bumped to #143. OOPS! Hey, at
least you are getting your mail despite my being on exams, let
the diehards
think back to how tough mid terms withdrawal was
on you...
Speaking of withdrawals, come on folks, hit the bank and grab
a
fiver and send it my way for the Lesley Pananyiotou Memorial
Fund. There are enough of us that $5 from each of us can
REALLY
add up...To remind you what I'm talking about:
We are taking up a collection in honour of George's mum's passing.
From now
until May 1st, donations are being accepted for "Help a
London Child" a cause Mrs. Panayiotou was proud her son
supported.
Now AEgean knows all about this, so maybe if we do a good job,
George may just have to e us his thanks...We plan to
send it
basically anonymously, in the form of bank drafts, so please DO
NOT address your checks to the fund directly. The 2
gents I have
chosen to help me collect are good friends and I trust them.
To donate to the fund please send cash or money
order to one of 3
of us. It depends on your geographical location. But please, send it
soon!

Amanda,
Once upon a time (about a
year ago), I was just a mild-mannered,
simple girl who liked George Michael very much. I had "Faith" and
"LWP
Vol. 1" and was happy to catch a video of his now and then
on MTV or VH-1. No big deal. Of course, I had the occasional
"I'm
the only woman for him" fantasy - but that was it.
THEN-- I joined Yogmael.
Now, I can't walk by a
music store without stopping in to check the
GM section, the Imports section, The Singles sections, etc. As if
that wasn't bad
enough -- I even tend to grab an extra copy here or
there because I KNOW someone at Yogmael will need/want it!

you for that! The 4 track Star People CD plays as I

Hi everyone.
Just thought I would let you all know
that there is a George Michael
Unplugged CD available from KTS Records Inc. You can order the
I have already purchased 2 copies of the Unplugged+edition, so it is
legit.
I can't endorse it. AG)
make you love me, Father Figure, You have been loved, Everything
she wants, Praying for time, and Star
people. The sound is great.
The cost per CD is $22.00 plus shipping & handling. The packaging
it comes in has a lot of
photos from the Unplugged session too.
Hope this helps GM fans.

Hi
all,
Just called my local radio station about playing Star People. I said
that I have not heard it, and he claimed he had
played it a few times.
He said he would leave a note on his boss's desk about it.
Ya know--I am so sick of hearing that
"cowboy" song! Why can't
they just play a song? It needs approval?

in reference to rebecca -at- buffaklo state:
the third song george sang was a
demo version of Crazy Man Dance,
which if you recall he teased everyone and taped it towards the end
for a "live
video" when the song was to be released (which it wasn't
but rather tossed as a b-side to too funky)
other songs george
has been on which haven't been mentioned is
Someday by Shirley & Pepsi as well as Nikita by Elton John---not
to mention
Tonight on the Elton John Two Rooms album and this also
has a video recorded live also
regarding DJ only versions of his
songs, there are alot more than you
think I'm your man has quite a few, Fast Love has a techno mix and
a deep house mix Hard
Day had a limited release in stores with a
few mixes by Shep Pettibone go to the used record shops in your
area (obviously the
ones that sell promotional and demo vinyls---they
usually don't come on CD) it's sad to say but a lot of nightclub DJ's
will
not play GM, his music is not really club music---clubs are more
interested in underground artists ans underground DJ mixes (very
minimal
vocals) but the vinyls if you look hard don't cost me more than
$3 each (very rarely $5)
forgot one more song "learn to
say no" on Jody watleys first album

Hey all:
My name is Jeffrey Pelletier and
I"m a second year architect at
Cornell University and have been a huge George fan for about 2
years now, since I started
college actually. I'm originally from
Fitchburg Massachusetts. I've been on this list for about 6 months
or so but haven't
posted anything thus far so I thought I would
introduce myself.
Now, the NEWS: I just read in the Celine Dion newsgroup that
apparently
Celine's manager/husband has approached George about
the idea of working together (what, I'm not sure) Apparently George
is
very receptive to the idea. I think it would be a really good move
as George has a great voice and great song-writing abilities
and
Celine has a tremendous voice and the public appeal to draw George
back into respect here in the US especially.
Just my
two cents.
promoting Celine, that's my job... AG)

(The CD also features "Barefoot," a k.d. lang track you'd recognize.) The
problem

introduce myself as a
second generation George Michael fan in
America. My mom LOVED him when I was little and collected
everything she could get her
hands on, including 20+ albums (yeah,
the black plastic ones), posters, tee shirts, buttons, articles, videos,
etc. Eventually
the music drew my 7 year old self in and now as a 21
year old I have loved and adored him for 14 years! OOOH I am so
mad too,
I got all my CD's stolen a few months ago which included
EVERY cd GM ever made. Grrrrr.
but the cutest thing I can recall in all my 21 years is my mum
