=-> Quoting Bill Harris to All:
 BH> Recent acquisitions:
   I'm particularly interested in your impressions of the following 
 from your list....
 BH> The Meeting-Martin Barre
   I like Martin Barre, but I've never thought that he was quite right
 for Jethro Tull.  However he's now so much a part of the band that it's
 hard to imagine anyone else with them.  Anyway, I'm very interested in
 whether he wrote the material on this album and what it sounds like.
 BH> Test For Echo-Rush
   I'm hearing good reviews about this one, albeit mostly from long time
 fans.  ;-)   For some reason Rush never did anything for me during their
 first decade or so.  I didn't become a fan until the late 80s - in fact 
 the very first Rush album I bought was _Presto_ (1989)!  ;-)
 BH> None Too Soon-Alan Holdsworth
   Is this a recent release, or something older?  Does he play mostly
 his `Synth-axe' or guitar?  Also, are there any vocals on it, or is it
 entirely instrumental?  And finally, what's your over all opinion of it?
 BH> Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus-Rolling Stones w/others
   With reference to the first item on your list, when Jethro Tull
 played at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, their original
 guitarist Mick Abrahams had just left (he formed Blodwyn Pig) and Tull
 were auditioning new players.  The guy filling in on guitar for this
 particular date may have been under consideration for the job.  His 
 name was Tony Iommi !!
   Of course, Martin Barre eventually got the gig.  Tony Iommi met up
 with Ozzy Osbourne and formed Black Sabbath instead.  ;-)
 BH> Breathless-Camel
   It's been years since I listened to it, but I've always thought
 _Breathless_ was a good album.
   Happy listening, Bill!! 
   
     Cheers,
              Martin
