When Col comes back

[TessB]

I guess he's taken a GWB-type vacation. I've no idea when he'll be back. (When his motorbike runs out of petrol?) It's been weeks!!!!

Hey, let's decorate this room with all sorts of fun things and turn out the lights. When Col comes back, he'll definitely wander in here wondering what's up. Then we can all jump out at him and yell surprise!

 

[BarryMK]

Col is currently holed up in the Studios in Bermuda working on his seminal CD, provisionally entitled "Away from the Watercooler". Eric has just finished putting some guitar fills on and I'm booked to play bass there next week as Macca couldn't make it. Ron Wood is coming over too so we can finish it all off. Linda Ronstadt has been hassling us to let her and Emmylou do the backing vocals so they may turn up too. Should be quite a party.

We're hoping the recent controversy on this forum won't affect the cd sales in the US too much. Fortunately his American fan base is pretty loyal.

Recent?

I've been wondering where he's been! I thought he was gone forever and was sad.

I will definitely buy the album.

Especially if I can sing backup too.

I can also play tambourine or maracas.

(Thought I may not be able to spell either...)

Now come on Kenny, we know you're one really

Rich - Ken, Kraj, JSanders and Cav have already placed advance orders.

Bring your bikini, it might be good to have backup in case Emmylou and Linda don't show

 

[Kraj]

Not to be morbid, but the thought occurred to me that Col may have had a run of ill health. Not that any of the joking has been ill-willed, but it seems to me that unless we have real info regarding his whereabouts, we might consider that something serious has occurred.

 

[jsanders]

I’m so confused; is he or is he not some kind of rock star?

 

[Kraj]

I believe he is a musician, but the stuff about his CD and such is something of a running joke.

 

[KenHigg]

I thought the comments about him riding his scooter on holiday were valid...

(As mad as he makes me, I do hope he's ok )

 

[Kraj]

I thought so too, but he's been gone a rather long time for holiday, don't you think?

 

[TessB]

No, the Brits aren't like us. They can take extended holidays. I don't think it is unusual. Hell, they get 5 weeks vacation a year! Taking 3 weeks at a time is probably normal. I'm sure Col is fine.

Am I right on this across-the-ponders? You get quite a bit of vacation time? We Americans usually get 2 weeks and are ecstatic if the company hasn't outsourced our jobs before we qualify for 3 weeks.

In my current job, the most I'll ever get is 3 weeks vacation, no matter how long I'm here.

It's actually a real motor bike, he's riding not a toy, please get the terminology correct

This was dealt with in another thread when Ken said he went to work by scooter apparently its a cover all word for 2 wheel powered vehicles out in the backwoods .

Tess is correct about vacations, I have a 17 day trip across the pond booked for next year, mind you as it takes in the Gulf coast between Houston and New Orleans the plans may need changing, still thats small beer compared to what the people have suffered.

I'm pretty fortunate I get 14 days per year at my current job, and I've only been here since November of last year so that is how much I started with.

However, my last job was with a very small company and everyone there only got 5 days of vacation and 5 days of sick time per year no matter how long they worked there. That place was pretty horrible.

I would say that no he is not a musician - he is a drummer, they are just people who hang around with us musicians but Col also plays bass and guitar too so he does qualify.

As for his cd output I don't know how you can consider such talented musicianship to be a running joke. Col's cds are so sought after they immediately disappear from the shelves on release and become almost unobtainable collector's items. Indeed I've never known anyone who has one to be prepared to part with it.

How many copies will they print?
