        I think it was a year or two before that, but I'm not 
        sure.

        There have been some posthumous releases, all live stuff. 
 
        Derek Shulman - currently a twelve acre island near 
        Catalina, he used to be a big record co. exec., giving 
        the world such delights as Cinderella and Bon Jovi. Some 
        say he still is. Not eager to redon his tights and 
        codpiece and prance about like a troubadour with St. 
        Vitus Dance. 
 
        Ray Shulman - produces records occasionally, such as the 
        first (and best) Sugarcubes album. "So that's who that guy 
        was who sat in the corner at the sesions" was what the 
        Sugarcubes said when asked about him. 
 
        Phil Shulman - raised his kids, leads a boring enough 
        life that a GG reunion sounds exciting to him 
 
        Kerry Minnear - tries to keep the wolf from the door and 
        takes care of his family. A born again Christian, most of 
        his music has been religious, but he is open to a 
        reunion. 
 
        Pugwash - drums with Man, hasn't changed a bit. Still 
        bald. Lives in Wales. Nuf sed. 
 
        Gary Green - Moved to Chicago. Gigged regularly for a 
        while in blues and rock outfits. Apparently looking to 
        sell his beautiful Les Paul for mondo bucks. Has a legit 
        day job. 
 
        Zeppo Shulman - currently a practicing gynecologist in 
        Asuncion, Paraguay, operation under the alias of Dr. 
        Waldo Maldemer. Rumoured to be J. D. Salinger. 
 
 JM> (Any info on Black Widow? - I only have Sacrifice) 
 
        Whodat?

        So give us a rundown on Welsh prog. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
