be suprised if he gets a visa. Father and Son, one of the greatest songs ever written.
Things I am owed because they're too tight to pay up:

Colossus: One House

Costa: One Lunch

Oh and add in

Colossus: one photo and one letter from his "attorney".

Who is Cat Stevens ?...might check out Yusuf Islam though :wink:


I remember in the early 70's going to the newly opened Tea Tree Plaza and my older brother purchased The World Of Cat Stevens.
My brother went on to paint the covers of Mone Bone Jakon and Tea For The Tillerman directly onto his bedroom walls...
As well as Roger The Engineer from a Yardbirds EP cover .

add :arrow: 60th anniversary celebrations, dignatories in attendance, past players/members re-union that night, huge day for us, probably the biggest on our calendar this year. Already committed to lots of jobs on the day/night on a personal level and heaps to do in the meantime. I wonder if using my Muslim firends we can get Mr Islam to change dates? :mrgreen:

I like Cat Stevens music but don't own that much of his music.
I'd like to see him live (at 1970's prices) but decided I might purchase his entire back catalogue and DVD's rather than
pay the big price for tickets - then again I am a bit of a tightarse (in some areas)
