Hi Mariana

I am glad you enjoyed it.

What about your Johnny Mathis encounters over the years?

Have you managed to record any?

Hi Terence---I have them captured on photo, that is all---several different occasions--plus some signed photos also.

Thanks for sharing your photos Terence. You must have been really pleased to have those, and the video must be really special too, with you actually presenting flowers to Dame Shirley.

Hi Marian

Do share your experience of meeting Jack Jones and the autographed photos he signed for you. Thanks.

Hi Terence--do you mean me [Mariana] with my photos with Johnny Mathis or Marian with photos of Jack Jones---or both ????

Terence Lee · Post by **Terence Lee** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:33 am

Both please......Mariana with photos of Johnny and Marian with photos of Jack.

Would you believe Terence I don't think I have any photos of Jack Jones signed specifically to me, like your great ones of Dame Shirley.
Over the years as I've followed his career I of course have lots of signed programmes, a few photos taken with him and the family, group photos with Jack and other JJ friends at different times we've been to shows etc. Christmas cards and letters from the family which are lovely and a great keepsake. Photos of his daughter growing up. They first brought her over on a tour at 4 weeks old and she is now almost 17!
We had a wonderful visit over to Palm Springs a few years back when Jack was presented with his "Star" in the main street. Several of us went over for the event and we also were invited to the "After Star Party" in the evening, at the house/garden of the Houstons, very well known residents of the area. It was absolutely fantastic, and a memory that will I will always cherish.

Hi Mariana

The Bassey twofer from BGO has been delayed for a week or two. Amazon has written to inform me.

Yes, they informed me also-only delayed by a week or so---the new JM cd has been put back so many times-originally Nov-latest date 28th February, but would not be surprised to see it change again.

Forty years after Welsh vocal powerhouse Shirley Bassey first hit the Billboard Hot 100, she is back on a Billboard chart as her cover of Pink's "Get the Party Started" climbs the Hot Dance Club Play list.

The rebound underlines the strength of her latter-day club and gay audiences, and provides the ideal aperitif to the March 18 U.S. Decca release of an album with the same title.

The album has sold 60,000 units in the United Kingdom, according to Decca Music Group. It debuted in the U.K. top 10 and set the scene for Bassey's widely acclaimed 2007 appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, when her iconic status was acknowledged by Arctic Monkeys' onstage cover of "Diamonds Are Forever."

Hi Mariana

The new CD is delayed until March 4.

mariana44 · Post by **mariana44** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:22 pm

Thanks for that Terence---never mind-we have been waiting so long, another few weeks will not hurt.

Hi Terence-I just had a big surprise-an email from Amazon to let me know the cd is on its way and should be here tomorrow---right on time for Valentines Day !!

Hi Mariana

Looks like the March 4 release date is for the U.S market.

Amazon sent me an email that they have shipped my CD too.

Can't wait!

By the way, what is your favourite song from this CD? Is it "Sometimes"?

mariana44 · Post by **mariana44** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:10 pm

My 2 favourites from "You take my Heart away" are "Perfect Strangers" and "This ones for you" although I do really like all the other songs on that album--I have not heard the other one yet, so I am really looking forward to that.

Funnily enough the new JM cd--now due at the end of the month, is scheduled for release in Uk before USA.
