[Heeplist] David Byron and some people's memory

[Don Malecic]

Hi Igor,

I'm sure at the time there has been more unkind words said between Ken and
David. Of course the newer members of the band don't have that personal
connection to David and Gary, that's just human nature.

Just because Mick isn't outspoken as much as you like him to be, you can't
say he doesn't have any inner feelings about his  previous fellow band
mates.
Just remember when the band was going down the wrong road with their pop
music era , Mick was the peace keeper in the band and always had been.

If Mick really wanted to, he could have blown  Heep all to hell and left
and I'm sure Bolder would have followed right behind him. Then it really
would have been the Mick Box band.

I wish fellow Heepsters wouldn't refer Heep as Micks band.
Mick has always been a team player.
Without his vision none of us would be talking about the band or have the
opportunity to see them still playing. So everyone enjoy the show! :))))
Igor, there on our side of the pond now lol!!
Don
