[Heeplist] Fwd: Re[2]: Ken Hensley

[Shawn Mctopy]

Igor & David,

I wish that I could attend a *Magician's Birthday Party* event! If they
still have this event, that is.

An *'Acoustic'* show would be a blast to attend too, as I really like
the *'ACOUSTICALLY
DRIVEN'* album.

*John Wetton*? I like the song *'One Way or Another'*, that features John
on vocals and bass guitar. It's a *Funky* little number.

Although my favorite song from *'HIGH AND MIGHTY'* is *'Weep In Silence'*.

*URIAH HEEP*, in a word - *ROCKS!!!*

Take care, David & Igor.

Keep A *HEEP'n!*


Shawn -
