Once again I’ll say how can we dislike all this. Thanks Anne
Anne, you’re going to think I’m crazy but , I just saw the movie American Hustle and in one of the scenes, How do you mend a broken heart, started playing and I felt such emotion and a sense of closeness and connection to the BeeGees like never before. Some may say that was silly for me to think and feel this way but ,it was real. It made me think of Mo& Robin standing at the mike with Barry singing to me. I can’t even tell you what the scene was about .I was too surprised and involved in my own little world with “The Boys”. Gotta love it!
Hello, I’m so glad I found this and signed on it it. I’m not on Twitter, but your e-mails are one of the few I look forward to reading. Are you still in FL? I’m in the Tampa Bay area. We have a lot of big name entertainers at various venues too, but I guess you know who would be great to see here.
Thanks for everything, Swenette.
Thank you for the lovely message. I live in New York but work in Sarasota, Florida! Commuting is not easy….Hope you continue to enjoy the blog and posts.
found your blog today love it
Love from Switzerland Anne
thanks, Jo, we’re almost 4 years in….spread the word and check out the stories.
my wife has been a diehard fan of the bee gees, and admires Barry Gibb greatly for 50 plus years. ever since she could toddle to a record player she has loved their work. because of her, a metalhead like me is now also a fan of his., and cheerfully share her collection of albums, cds etc. she asks for nothing in life and gives so much that it would be wonderful if she could ‘get a message’ to him simply to say thank you. a fanmail site lists his legal agency in hallendale beach florida as a contact for mail. we sent him a greeting card and letter via the law firm because writing him at his house just seems so intrusive. we do not wish to intrude or disturb the privacy of his home. do you know if Mr. Gibb still takes fan mail from Addicott & Addicott? have you ever posted a note to him at his home?
Dear Frank,
You can write to Barry and family and send correspondence to his home in Miami Beach.
