[Heeplist] was Flame wars, now back to Heep

[staf.p at skynet.be]

Well, i don't know about you all, but Rick attacked me personally, in a few emails, just after backing up Tapio, a few months back. I can deal with these guys, but i am glad he got kicked off the list. I don't wish this to happen to anyone. 

Now, Heep. I just saw a great \"Look at Yourself\" version popping up on facebook. Kevin shared it. It is a cover made by the Les Humphries Singers, back in the days when John Lawton was their lead singer. This made my early morning and possibly the rest of my day. It was actualy John's voice that intrigued me from before he was in Heep, without really knowing how he was. I was too young and i didn't know any english eighter, so i understood NOTHING. yet, that voice was already enough to make me fan of the LHS. 

Then when i heard \"The Dance\", years later in a yought club, i was instant fan of Uriah Heep, that must have been in 1977. Strangely enough, i never made the link between UH and LHS untill many years later. But the first LP i ever bought, was Innocent Victim.
>From 1981 untill 2000something, i was kind of dead, not buying records, not even playing music myself. Only thing i did was work on our house and work for the boss. Meanwhile, i am playing music again, went to numerous Heep-concerts, met and became friends with John, organised a little tour for him, with big help from Louis Rentrop, went to the July Morning festival in Kamen Bryagg in Bulgary, some of his German concerts ....
It's not over in a long time, i hope. Now organising the Heepvention here in Belgium, that will be the biggest thing i organised myself.

Maybe one day, i get Heep over too, i have some ideas floating in my brain soup. Most of you know i work for a classical orchestra, i want Heep to play with that orchestra someday. It might remain a dream though, everything is getting more and more expensive.

Still, better have silly dreams than no dreams at all.
