I just tried with my Gmail account. Wish me luck....

Cool story! Just went to order mine and the Stoneghost link to order automatically opens an Outlook Express mail form, which won't work with Hotmail for whatever reason. So, I copy Stoneghosts' address and manually send a Hotmail e-mail, with "Help!" in the subject line and my phone number along with an invoice request. That was an hour ago. Well the phone just rang here in good old Scranton PA, and guess who it is? MRS. Chris Squire, and Chris himself yakking in the background! I had no idea that when you write Stoneghost you get right to the inner sanctum! Damn! Anyway, after a minute or two of pleasantries, and me stuttering, she said she'll make sure I get my invoice later this evening. I apologized for the 911 in the e-mail header, but she said her and Chris figured they'd better call right back when they saw my pitiful plea. Good thing I put the phone number on there. Made my night!

Absolutely Amazing

Hey Fran,

Just wondering.....do you have caller ID?

That is JUST SO COOL!

Yep, but we're on the same wavelength Tony! It came up as Unknown caller. Not that I'd ever call him or sumthin'...wink-wink-wink

I hear you Fran, I NEVER would consider that either..... EVIL LAUGH....

Well, true to their word, the Squires just sent me my Paypal invoice, with a little note of thanks and the offer of more assistance should some other technical gremlins arise, from the man himself. Too cool! Needless to say, it's already processed. I promised myself weeks ago when this all developed that I'd try to act like the 50 year old I am if this got exciting (which of course it has, in spades!)but I fear I'm going to become a giddy teenybopper before long.
Oh well...

Just don't scream at them, Fran.

Well, I didn't scream, but when they first did Awaken on The Ladder tour, I did damn near wet myself. Shades of Beatlemania....

No problem. "Here we can be."

MY order was just confirmed!

I'm a happy man!

Got my confirmation this morning too! Woo hoo! I can just see ol' Chris running down to the post office to mail them to us! What a guy!

Can anyone say writer's cramp?!

I see poor ole' Chris reading and writing until his hand is so cramped up he can't even pick up his drink, Scotty in the background counting piles of money!

Ok, it was really hot out on the deck as I was staining for hours..... Hey Chris, you any good with a paint brush or roller? I'll fly you to the Zoo!

Hey guys, just wanted to pass on some info about the FOOW release!

Chris called this afternoon, but I wasn't in But that's OK, he asked me to call him back, and I did later this evening. Spoke to he and Scotty for about a half-hour, and one of the funny things he related was about a radio interview he did between 4pm and 5pm London time Friday afternoon the 10th. It was with Danny Baker on BBC Radio 94.9 FM. He and Scotty arrived at the station around 4pm, and were setup to do the interview and to tell everyone about the FOOW release. Then they took incoming callers until just before 5pm.

One of the callers was Peter Banks, their original guitarist before Steve Howe. Although a bit unexpected, Chris took it in stride and in high humor! Peter said a few funny things, including a comment about getting Jon Anderson freed up to do a 40th Reunion tour. Then, Danny inadvertently hangs up on Peter! None of that is what usually happens with these radio interviews, and I hope you will all choose to listen to it yourselves and have a good time hearing it all firsthand

The entire show is available to you by streaming audio until next Friday on BBC's web-based content delivery service called On Demand radio, so I encourage you all to listen in by going to the following web URL and selecting the Danny Baker show of Friday August 10th 2007 for replay via RealPlayer.

You will have to let it run for the first hour, maybe set it up to record off onto your hard drive as an MP3, then listen in on Chris Squire's interview, where he and Scotty talk all about the FOOW reissue and the details of what they are about.

It is great listening! To play it, click the below URL, select Danny Baker, then select August 10th 2007 (if it asks you):
