Kinda Sappy

Maryellen — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:41:33 GMT

Just out of curiosity, What sappy music do you remember growing up?
I found that some songs from the late 60's were "happy music" to me, such as "Good Morning Starshine" ~ though I could do without the "glibby glop" stuff. "Downtown" was another, and The Mamas and The Papas were there too.
The Stylistics I adored!
John, who did you listen too?
Everyone else? (the timeline doesn't matter, just the songs!)

Question for Johan - about fans on front row

Missmoonlight — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:47:42 GMT

I've arrived home from Bratislava! A great concert by Yes (not much great the sound), I could even meet them after the concert....but that's another story, I won't write the review here - not the right forum!
I'd like to ask Johan how much is important eye-contact between the people you can see from the stage and them, looking at you. I'll explain what happened to me.
I was on front row, nearly in front of Steve Howe. I was clapping to him, there for him, to listen to him playing. Looking at his hands, at his fingers. And into his eyes. And at some point he realized, he saw me clapping for him and he looked at me and had an expression like "thank you". I went on, he made and expression as to say "I'm flattered". No joking. It wasn't a product of my imagination. I asked my friend who was next to me, he agreed, Steve realized about me! And I was so happy!
Tell me Johan please, how does this apply to you? I mean: do you realize about some fans who are there for you and not for the whole band? Can you feel it? Has it anything to do with eye-contact (as I think) or is it a "feeling"? Thank you!

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

KDancha — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:56:58 GMT

"Hello, this is John...."

How would you like to pick up the phone and hear those words? It could happen!

We are going to make the holiday season merrier for one lucky John Wetton fan by auctioning off a phone call from John. Get the scoop on the new Asia album, discuss your favorite song lyrics, ask about his holiday shopping....anything! It's your call, literally!

John has graciously agreed to this truly "grand" prize because inflation has hit our website. Costs are up, especially for the guestbook, but we certainly don't want to cut back on any of the services provided to John's fans. So we've decided to offer up an auction every few months to help cover the costs. There will be rare memorabilia, more phone calls, and who knows what else we'll come up with!

We hope you will help by joining the fun of the auction. We'll begin to accept bids at 8AM on Monday, November 2nd, with the final bids accepted by 11PM on Monday, November 30th. All times are US Eastern. The call will be made during the second week of December, with the exact date and time to be decided between John and the winner.

To take part in the auction, e-mail your name and your bid to bakerloo2@aol.com. We will start the bidding at $150.00. I will update the bids on November 6th, 13th, 20th and 29th, posting the highest bid at that time on the "news" page of the website, the guestbook, and via the JW IINFOLeTTeR. All bid updates will be anonymous. Only the name of the winner will be announced. (NOTE: any bid submitted before the official start of the auction will be eliminated) The winning bid must be paid in full (via PayPal, US money order, or international money order) by December 12th.

Good luck to all, and thank you very much for helping to keep the Official John Wetton Website in operation!

Exciting Website Opportunity!!!

KDancha — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:18:37 GMT

To all....I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it's truly amazing (and appreciated) that JW takes the time to respond directly to fans who write to him via this guestbook. But we're ready to take that communication one step further! Keep your eyes on this very website in the coming weeks for news of an AMAZING opportunity for one lucky fan. Maybe it will be YOU!!!!

Quick suggestion..........

emwhy — Thur, 15 Oct 2009 15:38:08 GMT

Kim and/or Johan how 'bout a dedicated thread to new ASIA cd's progress. That way we can all keep tabs, and if Johan feels like sharing any info, we can all go to one post ask questions etc. I know there's another thread, but some of the info we're getting seems scattered on other posts.

New Asia CD progress

Wetton82 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:33:58 GMT

Johan. I believe that you stated in an earlier thread that work would begin on the new CD on October 12. Just wondering how things went for the first few days. All the best.

Biography Book Report

CLEETOCAT — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:57:27 GMT

Hi Johan,

My 13 year old daughter, Sierra, is working on a book report/classroom web page for school (8th grade). It's about you! She has read My Own Time and the two Asia books. To help complete her project she has a few questions for you (none of her classmates have the luxury of interviewing their subjects--maybe she'll receive extra credit!!!).  So here goes...

1) How old were you when you did your 1st live concert?
2) What is your favorite song you have ever written?
3) What's your favorite color?
4) Which do you prefer as a pet...cats or dogs?
5) Who is your favorite singer?
6)  Name two hobbies you have?
7) Do you like to go camping?
8) Have you been to Yosemite?

Thanks for your time on this matter--some fun questions.  This is info I'm sure she'll enjoy sharing with her class. She has chosen Heat of the Moment as the classroom web page background music. I'll update the progress of her report.
