I remember
your invite to me to join the list after I sent in my
memories of 1973, 25 years on in 1998. It was one of the
most exciting days of my life. Some may say thats pretty
sad but I have to say it has completely changed my life
Mike
IOW
Brings
some light to this day of sadness when I heard my good
friend Kari passed away at age of 43. He was diagnosed
of cancer two months ago which was a big shock when I
heard it. Last time I talked with him he was very
positive and full of life. Grabbed my bass to play
Hanging Tree with Tina for his memory. It was the first
song he taught to me a couple of years ago when I got
into bass playing. My thoughts and prayers are with his
family. He is survived by his wife and three young
children.
And back to Dave's topic: Who remembers it when Mac used
to forward manually all the mails to the
list members? That was sometime in '96 when I joined. We
were about a dozen or so way back then.
If I remember right ex-Heep roadie Todd Fischer used to
be on the list. Anyone know where he is
nowadays?

I remember
when Mick was on the list, and then Ken for awhile.
I also remember Ken getting involved in a flame war
over lp titles and covers. Remember the Shoe
Polish?? :-)
I also
remember a chat I came on late to, and changed my
screen name to Gitlin and tried to piss people off
posing as Alex. It worked, Alan got mad and left.
Sorry Alan, it was just too much fun!! :-)
Then Mac started and changed his name to Mick Box,
just as Moshe came on, and boy did Mac pull Moshe's
chain.

I remember
finally getting on-line, man was I clueless!
the first
reply I got from Ken H. was asking why i was writing
my entire message in the 'subject' line! :-)
Then i
finally figured out how to get on the Heepsters list
[thanks Dave!]
What
else.....
I remember
not being able to afford to go to St Louis, but Jesse
keeping on me about it, and then helping me out with
John Parisi calling me on the Wed to see if i wanted
to go with him on the Friday! Wow. what a drive!! that
was a great, but kinda short weekend, plus i was broke
by Sunday am, and really didn't wanna leave for to
head home for thanksgiving, but kinda had to cause my
wife was expecting me and i couldn't afford to stay
again [plus no one else was!]. Hmmm.
BTW Dave -
if i never did, Sorry for waking ya up at 5am at the
Cheshire when me and John arrived! Wasn't aware we'd
missed the party the night before.
Cleveland
was great too.
I remember
in 98 getting an email from you
asking me
questions about seeing Heep live and things. You
then gave
my information to Mac and I was on the list before
I even
knew it. I hate to think I could have
missed the last
three
years of fun.

I
remember going online in 1995 and immediately I did a
word search for Uriah Heep. Nothing.
A few months later, I tried it again, and got Dave
White's Welcome to England's Own -- Uriah Heep site.
I quickly sent off an email. It is hard to
explain just how nervous and excited I was, as here
-- FINALLY -- I was going to come in contact with
the ONLY other known (to me) Uriah Heep fan in the
world!!! HOORAY!! There were now TWO of us!!
When I found out there were many
"others" out there, I was overwhelmed.
I remember the POW-WOW Heep chats. Especially, the
one where we named the chat "Words In The
Distance." Also, the frantic rush to get 50
heepsites online, so Mick would come to the USA and have
a beer with us! My site was #36.
Hard to believe it has been so many years since.
Best,
Roland Austin
