This bit is from that great interview you can read in full in the Broadcast section here. http://macca.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=63756 Q: As seen in the DVD, you've played with a whole lot of musicians since The Beatles. Other than Linda, obviously, and other than your current band, who are some that you miss the most and are there any that you might like to play with again at some point? A: "Since The Beatles" - That's kind of a difficult question because I think they're all cool in their individual ways. I mean, because I'm very happy with my new band. If we were five years from now, I think I'd probably sort of miss guys out of my new band if I wasn't playing with them. Then I don't know who you'd choose.

OMG Dawn Now it is only 2 weeks til The Big Day! I am just saying hello, after me week at the MGM!!! (I was sorta stuck in the mayhem of the Ricky Hatton/ Floyd Mayweather fight! OMG! I can say this in short for now as I plan to add a topic in it's proper place...Like the Talk Talk Topic thread..) In any event I had to laugh to myself after this experience at the MGM! Will I be safe to have lunch with you in honor of Brain Ray an Anerican no less who plays with a Liverpudlian??? in the middle of The UK? TEE HEE Or shall we get security on it now I know why us women are so needed especially after this past week, will PM ya on Brian's site! & God Bless you OOPS I said GOD again! ( My life saving joke of the last week!) I met some great people form the UK, as I used to live there you know. BUT when I mentioned it was Chelsea... I got the finger on the 'up turned nose' response! I was invited to do a camera interview & regretfully now declined, as I was one of a few women in the 'UK turned pub' at the MGM, my friends there at MGM workin this pub, and therefore usually a safe haven for me. In any event I want to wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY to you and yours as well as to YOU MR. RAY and if I may to a certain Gentleman named simply SID* from Manchester I believe! ..I met Sid at the last MGM show, & we had good fun playing what we call in Chicago Verbal Volleyball aka Beatles songs if you like..he is stand up guy! I have never mentioned this meeting prior to today, as I am very quiet about such things! However, if you read this thread SID ..let it be known You my friend are a PROPER GENTLEMAN! & Dawn I am certain you know of whom I am speaking! shhs! Just had to make a point as it was a tough week in Las Vegas, a bit of a heartbreaker(led Z song??) for me as we are all allies ya know?? As expected the Liverpudlians were always in class 1st class gentlemen! So you see, there was no mistaking WHY? the Beatles were the GREAT BAND they were, it was in part who they were mixed with that great talent they possessed' & still do to this day! & it is no wonder why Brain Ray was picked By Sir Paul..I was on you tube prior to my leaving for much needed rest AHHG!, and found some old Brian Ray clips WAY cool! So there you go as you can see I am still reeling from this past week BUT had to share a bit with you sweet Dawn& Brian & Sid! I hope you all have the Best of that Holidays can offer, for me I am trying now to 'Get back" to Chicago where I know I belong! LOL & Love Amy

Sounds like you've had a busy time in Vegas ! I didn't know you used to live in Chelsea, that's quite a posh part of London ! so that was probably why you got that response in Vegas ! I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful christmas holidays Amy . Dawn x

Brian's latest message ....... Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kwanza, Navidad, Festivus and Noel to all of my friends near and far! As I'm writing you, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss are on XM Satellite Radio.. have you heard it?? Man... it is really special! Real music, not cynical, not trendy... it's hip without trying to be.. Sounds like it could have been recorded anytime in the last 50 years. Classic. Anyway, I just wanted to send some holiday love out to all of you tonight. More than ever it feels like we're all looking for a soulful season rather than the breathless buying race of seasons past. My folks just moved back to LA after 20 years in Durango, Colorado.. They now live 5 minutes from my place and I'll be with them for Christmas along with other family and friends. This just in!!! I'll be playing a show with Mike Campbell [Heartbreakers] at the historic Imperial Ballroom in LA on Jan 19th. I'll be joined by my fantastic band, Black Unicorn.. They're BACK!!! This is a private show but I will be giving away 8 laminate passes for the show in a contest to be announced on my site, www.brian-ray.com so stay tuned! And, I'm writing new songs .. I was smacked upside the head with new inspiration a while ago!.. Can't wait to explore some new ideas in the studio and maybe I'll play some of them for you soon. Thanks for tuning in for this moment.. Now, get back to gift wrapping, stuffing your faces and stockings, hanging with family, partying and all that good stuff we do. Stay close and stay tuned! Love, Brian

How exciting that Brian is playing live again! Unfortunately, I'll be in San Francisco that weekend! I saw him at the Viper Room with the Dirty Knobs (Mike Campbell's other band) and it was a fabulous show! I think footage from that night was put into the "I Liked You Better" video...or maybe that was another night at Viper Room!

Brian is good, great guitar player. Very nice guy, he makes everybody feel like a friend. Not many people will do that, but Brian is special. My wife and I got his cd and wow, fantastic. We are really looking forward to his next one. It would be great if he could go on tour and play his music live. My wife and I would go for sure. Keep up the good work Brian. We are so glad Paul has you in the band. T om and Josie McDonnell

Brian sent out a newsletter yesterday. For those not on his mailing list, here it is below. For those of you in Southern California, the Imperial Ballroom is in Fullerton (Orange County), not exactly LA. I saw Mike Campbell with the Dirty Knobs at one of Brian's shows and they were AMAZING as well! Hello one and all, I am playing a live show with my band, Black Unicorn here in LA at the Imperial Ballroom with Mike Campbell on Jan 19, 2008! So I am giving away 20 collectable Laminate passes [10 pairs]. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer this question correctly: I quote the melody of a well known Beatles song in my solo of Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" Which Beatles song do I 'quote'? Each respondent to answer the question correctly will be entered into a draw with a chance to win 1 of 10 pairs of passes. AND, for those of you who can't travel to LA in time, I will give away 5 beautiful Mondo Magneto 'vintage' tee shirts. Just answer this question: On which song on Mondo Magneto do I play the maracas? Each respondent correctly answering the question will be entered into a draw for a t-shirt. Please email your answers to contest@brian-ray.com along with your name, email address, full mailing address and t-shirt size (if you're entering the t-shirt contest). The contest closes on Sunday January 6th at midnight (Pacific Time) and the draws take place on Monday January 7th. Please note that you may enter both competitions. However in the interest of fairness, if you win a pair of show passes in the first draw, you will not be eligible to win a t-shirt in the second draw. All winners will be notified by Tuesday January 8th! Good luck and Happy New Year to you all! See you soon, Brian
