I am beyond thrilled to hear from young music lovers who play the Bee Gees and appreciate the music. Enjoy this story from a smart girl from Texas!

Baylee—Texas

HI, my name is Baylee. I’m 21 years-old and from Texas. I came across your site on Twitter and reading all of the stories shared on your website inspired me to share mine.

Basically I was raised on the Bee Gees. When I was practically a baby, my Mom played them and from the first time I listened to them, I was instantly hooked and I just wanted to keep listening to them.

By the time I was 18 months old, I knew how to control the stereo; and because of that, I kept the Bee Gees on a constant loop and my fondest memory of me being little is me dancing to songs like “More Than a Woman”. It’s possibly my Mom’s favorite story and my cousin’s favorite story of me to tell. I became known as the “old soul” of my family.

I’ll never forget when I heard the news of Robin passing away. I found out through my mother on Facebook’ and after hear the news, I was upset for awhile. It was the first time I had ever felt the loss of an artist I loved so dearly and 9 days after his passing, I turned 15, and even on my birthday, I still felt sorrow over the loss of him.

Here I am now, 21, and my love for the Bee Gees is still as strong as ever, and I know it always will be that way. The were my first favorite band, and they’ll always be one of my favorites. In fact, I believe that they’re the reason as to why I’m so passionate about music and also why I want to turn my passion into a writing career.

Please forgive my not posting as often, since I am working on edits to my book and want to finish it, along with my semester of teaching at Syracuse University. I am so busy, but I think of the fans daily!

This week it’s time to think about how wonderful it is to remember Andy Gibb. His birthday anniversary is in a few days, and I am responding to requests to include Andy on these pages. The following are two Andy stories that echo the sentiments of millions of fans. I hope you enjoy the memories.

Cathy and Her Idol

When I was a teenager in 1980, I had already been in love with Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb for nearly ten years. I was the ideal devoted fan, but it was nothing compared to my younger sister Cathy’s adoration of Andy Gibb.  She talked about him incessantly. Every conversation had his name in it somewhere. We could be talking about Uncle Bill’s new car and Cathy would find a way to work Andy into the discussion. “I wonder if Andy would like a Mustang or a Corvette better?” It was exhausting living with her. Her room was a shrine to him. There were posters, magazines, glossy photos. You name it. If it was for sale, Cathy had it in her room. For years, every birthday and Christmas request involved something relating to Andy. I remember her playing “I Just Want To Be Your Everything” at least a hundred times a day. On Saturday mornings, she and I would clean the house (our major weekly chore) while my parents were out shopping. Cathy would crank up the volume on the record player, and we’d sing the whole Flowing Rivers album. I can still see her waving the feather duster around and dancing to his music. I was freaked out by Night Fever while she was into Andy. We’d discuss and debate about each brother….how much Andy and Barry looked alike, how different Andy sounded from Robin, who was the sexiest? Answer”  ALL OF THEM! It was such a fun time. When “Shadow Dancing” was released, Andy was a huge star and “Don’t Throw It All Away” was “Cathy’s song”. The highlight of my sister’s life was seeing Andy on Broadway in “Joseph”. My parents surprised her with tickets for her 15th birthday, and I got to see the show, too. It was right before Christmas in 1982. I was blown away by Andy’s performance in that show. Cathy kept telling me, “He’s such a great actor”, “He’s so talented”, “He’s a natural at whatever he does”. It was a night we’d never forget. What a great memory for us. There was something about Andy that was so special. He was sweet, sensitive, and vulnerable. To this day, I don’t remember a time when Cathy was able to talk about his passing. It was devastating to her, as it was to the world, but she always tried to focus on all the great music he made. She said his fans would still be his fans forever, and she was right. My sister Cathy passed away from a severe pneumonia attack in 1992. She was 25 years-old. I have her Andy collection, everything from her singles to the ticket stubs, and I’ll always keep them in memory of her and her favorite singer, Andy Gibb. He was a huge part of making my sister’s teenage years happy. Whenever she talked about him, she was laughing or smiling, and it’s important for me to remember both of them that way.

I Will Always Love Andy

I want to tell you about my favorite Gibb brother—ANDY! I love the Bee Gees, but I have to say that my heart was really with Andy from the moment he hit the pop scene. Growing up in LA, I had seen the Bee Gees perform twice and was crazy for them. I loved how they all seemed approachable and like regular guys, and then Andy started doing his thing and his charisma and talent were just unbelievable. I became a serious Andy follower in 1977. Even though he could have been overshadowed by Night Fever when it took over the music scene all around the world, he was still successful and so popular in a short amount of time.  I saw him in concert on his first tour and saw him do Pirates of Penzance and could not get over what a great actor he was. I think all of the brothers could have been actors if they had wanted to do it, but Andy was the only one to do the Broadway thing, and that took courage, I thought. I was so surprised when I saw him in person and he looked so young but so much like his brother Barry it was wild. He was like a mini-younger Barry physically, but he had his own style. It was just a charisma that is hard to describe. I don’t think he realized how much of an impact he had on the fans. He was so sweet and seemed innocent. I think maybe the fame just overwhelmed him somehow. I wished that he had sung more with his brothers because they were such a wonderful family, and I thought a tour with all of them would have been a once-in-a-lifetime event.  I had been a concert groupie with my friends for a long time, trying to see as many as I could. There are many performers who have had an impact on me. I’ve been lucky in LA to see people like Springsteen, Elton John, and country artists like George Strait and Garth Brooks. No one ever impressed me the way Andy Gibb did, and that is saying something. He has left a huge imprint on my life. He brought so much to the music world, and he was a heartthrob just like Elvis. He had that kind of magic, believe me. I treasure all of my Andy memories more than I can say. Thank God I have these personal experiences because it was like a dream to see him in person. I know that in the minds of fans all around the world Andy is still loved and missed. I think of him every day.

All I can say about this story that I received recently is that I thought nothing could surprise me, but I was wrong. (I have not changed syntax or edited this for spacing. It is just exactly as it was sent to me.)

Maria in Mexico

I want to tell you this anecdote that happened to me in October 2016.

I was doing a certain kind of work for Mexico’s federal government in the rural area of my municipality. In some communities there is no transportation and since I do not own a car I had to walk a lot between one inhabited place and another one, between cultivated fields and totally lonely places.

One of those days while walking and listening to Main Course, I noticed the loneliness that surrounded me and I thought alarmed that someone could attack me with impunity and even kill me without anyone knowing more about me (you know the level of insecurity in Mexico currently) and I felt scared, but almost instantly my fear faded away because I clearly felt four presences that were with me. I know with absolute certainty (and can’t explain myself why feel so) that were my beloved mother, Andy, Maurice and Robin who accompanied me.

It was so intense the feeling that they were going with me, that I felt their embrace with warm autumn breeze and I practically felt wrapped in a wave of warmth and security that nothing bad was going to happen to me, and I felt so protected, so sure, that I started to cry with gratitude, while their music in my ears sounded like a very personal message from them to me.

Someone could call me nuts or fanatic, I don’t care because I’m sure in that afternoon their Loe was surrounding me.

Nothing more to say, dear Anne Wish you the best in this coming 2019 and thanks for the love and care you show for our boys and their families.

Sending hugs and blessings,

Maria del Carmen Gonzalez Alvarado

Happy New Year to fans around the world……

I have a few thoughts of reflection as this year comes to an end.

There is a man, a very good and different man, who God gifted with special power, not the kind of power that doctors who heal possess, not the power that scientists who research possess. The likes of engineers or mathematicians are indeed rare and to be admired.

These individuals are gifted in a way that is sometimes  impossible to comprehend. However, the man I am thinking of possesses a different kind of power that stands the test of many decades of scrutiny. This power cheers when there is sadness and brings smiles when seemingly simple sounds are heard. It could be a few notes and a spirit is lifted, a heart lightened, joy given.

The power of music soothes, thrills, excites, enriches and engages all five senses. This power brought he and his brothers names of description such as “legend”, “icon”, “poet”, “genius”, truly daunting words and tough to live up to in a changing universe where new generations take over. This icon must balance the reputation with the new visions, the instant technology and the demands of society.

I think this power surely comes with burdens that weigh heavily, for who among us, having lost pieces of himself, is ever the same?

Yet, he thrives, shines and endures. Sir Barry and Robin, Maurice and Andy will live on in our hearts, and the music will go on forever. Many blessings to Barry and his family, to all the descendants who carry those wonderful Gibb genes….Yvonne and her children and grandchildren,  Dwina and her children and grandchildren and Andy’s descendants as well.

Worldwide fans know there is no need to fear the loss of Gibb music…..for they certainly pass on the beautiful sounds to their families and friends. How wonderful for the generations to come.

Happy New Year to all!

Mike Gibb at High Rollers Night

It’s that time of year again, when the celebration begins for two of the Gibb boys. Linda Gibb gave birth to two of her sons on the same day of the calendar, December 1. Steve was born 11 years before Mike; but how ironic is it that of the 365 days of the year, they were given life on this one day?

Steve during Mythology Tour–Boston

I always like to look up the Zodiac sign and see if I agree with what it says about a person born under that sign. In this case, it’s the 9th sign, Sagittarius. I wasn’t surprised to find that some of the personality traits are the following: idealistic, imaginative and full of aspiration.

Although Mike and Steve are dramatically different people, these traits fit both of them.

Steve performing in Concord

Sagittarius people love to travel, and they tend to be extroverts and daring. Ditto for both brothers!

Mike at DRIF Love and Hope Ball with Jenna

Show business is full of people born under this sign because they are so outgoing and one of their life pursuits is to “live the good life”. Steve has been a musician since he could walk. Mike has dabbled in acting. So far, the profile fits.

Mike with older brother Travis at Love and Hope Ball

Steve at rehearsal in Hollywood Bowl

On the flip side, this sign tends to be a bit dangerous at times, since frequent burnouts are possible. The element is FIRE. Yes, I think Steve and Mike have traveled this road as well. However, because Sagittarius men are optimists, they can survive the difficult challenges and recover from the “scrapes and bruises of life”.

In the past five years, I have been able to observe them and sometimes chat with them, and they are friendly and patient and attentive. I think they both have strong egos, but it doesn’t get in the way of their interactions with fans and their “fun side”. I think a sense of humor makes them special, and I know that laughing at life and enjoying the little moments is something Barry and Linda have emphasized in recent years.

Mike and Steve with their brother Ashley at Haute Tea to benefit Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.

Sagittarius men “learn in an out-of-the-box kind of way”, according to experts who have written books about this sort of thing. I’m not sure how to interpret this statement, except to say that I think both of these Gibb men are definitely “out-of-the-box” when it comes to their outlooks and experiences in life. They didn’t grow up like most kids, unless jumping on a trampoline with Michael Jackson is normal. They were exposed to events and circumstances and adventures that most of us only dream about. What comes with that, though, is often being scrutinized and in the public eye, whether that attention is warranted or not. It’s not always easy, but Mike and Steve are about as normal as two men can be who grew up in the shadow of The Bee Gees.

Steve in Chicago–Mythology Tour

No matter what the future holds for  either of these men, the fact remains that they are Gibbs, and those amazingly appealing genes don’t lie. They have lived dynamic lives so far, and I hope they have many more decades of success and love to come. Many blessings, Mike and Steve. I wish both of you a happy, peaceful, rewarding birthday.

It is Thanksgiving week here in the U.S. and it’s my favorite holiday. I thought I might post some photos  from the past few years in remembrance of what has occurred. We are all thankful for Bee Gee music, and we are lucky to have Barry still with us. I hope everyone has a great holiday and is blessed with family and friends to love.

October 21, 2018

So, in addition to hanging out with the Gibb ladies and hundreds of fashionable women who came to support the Diabetes Research Institute, I managed to chat with some of the girls and find out what they are up to these days. Of course, they have all been supporting the DRIF for years while raising their children, but they have other interests as well.

Stacy, pictured above, is all about supporting her children, Layla and Liam, and their endeavors. She is especially passionate about the arts; in fact, Layla is involved with dancing, and Stacy is 100% supportive of all things dance.  I asked her if she was a dancer herself, and she told me she wasn’t, but I think she’d be great in a jazz or tap class.. I’m hoping maybe she will think about taking an adult class and enjoy the rewards it brings.

Therese Gibb at the Haute Tea, October 19

Therese Gibb, in addition to being mother of Lucas and wife to Ashley, is also passionate about her work with the Miami Beach Community Health Center. She is Vice-President of the Board of Directors, which tells me that she is serious and committed to this organization. The Center strives to help those in need and believes that every Miami Dade County resident is entitled to affordable health care. Her face lit up when she spoke about the Center and its work. I am always impressed with her willingness to share what’s important to her, and a place where families can go for every service from adult to pediatric to behavioral care is indeed important. Since the center uses a sliding-fee scale, according to ability to pay, it is a valuable and appreciated place for all those in need.

Jenna Gibb with her friend from graduate school

It is challenging raising  two small children, but Jenna Gibb, mother to Taylor and Payton, is also a school psychologist. One of her passions is helping children; and from her dedication to studying and completing an advanced degree, it is apparent that she has reached a milestone in her career already.  Since school psychologists apply expertise in mental health, learning and behavior, their goal is to help children succeed academically, behaviorally, emotionally and socially. I don’t have to tell anyone that doing this type of work requires a very uniquely compassionate and dedicated personality, and Jenna Gibb is one of those caring individuals.

Ali Gibb looking fabulous at the Haute Tea

When I talk with Ali Gibb, I’m always smiling. Maybe it’s because she brings out the best in people simply by being Ali. I asked her about what she’s interested in doing these days and she didn’t miss a beat when she said, “Cooking”. I was surprised as she told me about doing more cooking and getting into the challenges of being good at this skill. She told me a story about making her dad, Barry, a custard tart for his birthday. He loves them, and so she gave it a go and tried to bake what he wanted. The kitchen was a mess in the end, but she made the custard. She told me that she has been thinking of culinary school, although she says she gets “stressed out” when she’s making different recipes and worries about how they are going to turn out. Ali, I think it would be great to see you take some cooking classes and have fun with them. I told Ali my passion was baking and how good I felt when the house smelled luscious while the pie or cake was baking. Go for it, Ali. Who knows? You might become a top chef one day.

So, now we know a bit more about some of the famous Gibb girls. They are much more than pretty faces, and their energy, generosity and kind spirits are much needed in today’s world. Thanks a bunch, ladies, and I’ll catch you at the next big event!

October 19, 2018

After five years, it gets difficult to put a new spin on a fundraiser. Simply put, people attend all kinds of charity events to support their causes, and the goal is to raise as much money as possible. Not all events are fun; in fact, I’ve attended many that are down right boring. We’ve all been there, and we all know that the cause is great, but attending can be a chore.

This is not the case for the annual Haute Tea event sponsored by the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation. By now, fans know this is a priority for the Gibb family, and their appearance alone generates funds. However, the Gibb ladies are not just pretty faces that show up. They are members of the Haute Tea Committee, and they believe in their cause. They work and they work and they spread awareness. For those who are unaware or need a refresher, the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami Miller Medical School of Medicine, leads the the world in comprehensive research dedicated to curing diabetes. The goal is to restore natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels without imposing other risks.

This year I had the joy of meeting Wendy Peacock, who is the first DRI Bio Hub transplant recipient. (check out her video on Facebook on my page or check outDiabetesResearch.org). She and her sister Kimberly came from San Antonio for this event and were excited to be involved. I could write a novel about how wonderful it is that Wendy is a walking testament to the DRIF scientists and their ongoing research, but I encourage you all to take some time and get to know her and her story.

Wendy on the right, smiling with sister Kimberly.

Wendy and the good doctor Ricordi

We chatted about her experience and her health. She is a walking miracle, thanks to the DRI. She told me, “I couldn’t say more about the incredible team I have here. They are amazing.”

When I asked her how she was feeling, she said, “I’m doing really well, and I’m so grateful to everyone here.”

I was humbled to meet Wendy, and she gives great hope to all Type 1 diabetics; it was emotional to simply talk with her, shake her hand, and laugh with her about the ongoing circus of fun surrounding her in the ballroom at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort.

Each year there are honorees, and this year they were Linda Finkelstein and her daughters, Barbara, Pam and Robin. Of course, it always boggles my mind when I read in the program and discover the attributes of the current honorees. I am impressed and grateful to read about the 40 years of work Linda and her family have done on behalf of the DRIF.

Then we have the man who has headed up the team of scientists at the DRIF since 1996, Dr. Camillo Ricordi. He brought Wendy and her sister to the event, and was a strong presence in the room all afternoon, as attendees wanted photos and a minute of his time.  I jokingly said to him, “It’s just you and room full of hundreds of beautiful women.” He responded, “Just for me!” He is a brilliant scientist and continues to repeat the DRIF goal-to cure diabetes.

Dr. Ricordi and the honorees Linda Finkelstein and her daughters, Barbara, Pam and Robin.

The staff, too, are a huge part of the success of this event, and I love every one of them.

It’s great to be with Laurie, Jill, Lauren and all the girls at this hectic, crazy, fast-paced event. They work long and hard to prepare for it, and then they buzz around the ballroom all day making sure there are no glitches or snags to hinder the many steps to success.

The Gibb ladies are just like everyone else when it comes to checking out the auction items and the ballroom and listening to the stories of Type I diabetes patients, eating the scrumptious lunch and catching up with other supporters. They, too, stare wide-eyed at the really awesome hats and heels in attendance.

Love this hat

Linda and Therese looking over auction items

Fun and glamorous

Roses……

Cherries, anyone?

The longest table of elegance I’ve ever seen during set up early in the morning

So, the bottom line is that I had a ball while my adrenalin skyrocketed as the day went on. The live auction raised THOUSANDS of dollars, as did the silent auction and the raffle. The food was fabulous, the smile were broad, the chatter nonstop and the event a huge success. Congratulations to the DRIF for once again spreading awareness and raising funds to continue the fight to stop diabetes.

September 21

Today I am excited to share a story from a young fan. This is inspiring! The music lives on through the young people who love what the brothers Gibb created.

Kyle–Texas

I was too young to have met or seen Andy Gibb or the Bee Gees when they were popular. I was born nine months to the day after Maurice Gibb’s death, and I  didn’t know who the Bee Gees were when Robin passed.

My story of how I found the Bee Gees is quite interesting. It was December, 2014. I was flipping through Fm radio stations to find one that played the Beatles. I found a station that was playing Piano Man by Billy Joel and I preset it. I listened to the station every night and used Shazam on my dad’s phone to identify the songs. At some point, one of the Bee Gee songs came on and I liked it, so began to listen to them more on Youtube.

Since seventh grade (2015) I’ve been a megafan and have been keeping up with Barry ever since. The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb’s music have helped me get through tough times. I know I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for them and their music.

In eighth grade, I took this ridiculous AP US History course. I had to read the whole textbook. Throughout that year, I listened to songs from “Shadow Dancing” and “High Civilization” on a ten-year-old IPod and it kept me concentrated.

People in my grade (current sophomores in high school) surprisingly don’t use Facebook. I had been following the GSI website and decided I wanted to join the Facebook group. So I pretty much created a Facebook account just to join GSI! It’s interesting to think that in a group of 21,000, I could be the youngest member of GSI.

I have vivid memories of many songs. “Morning of my Life” is riding the school bus during dreary days in 2017. “Alone” is from when I was in eighth grade. There are many more stories and wonderful things that have come from my enjoyment of the Bee Gees, and I’m am so lucky to have them in my life.

All the best,

Kyle

The following post comes from a fan whose sincere and compassionate words will touch the hearts of all fans.

Kristi

Thank you for sharing your love for the boys. Seriously, there is much more to the BeeGees than being a band. Their talent, their positive energy, the beauty they created, and the happiness that continues to be generated from their contributions is unlike anything I have ever experienced…it is quite simply…love in the form of music.

I too, am a teacher. At the end of the day, I connect to the light through their music, and it energizes me as I correct papers or plan lessons. Such lightness… We are so blessed to know this. I just discovered this site, and this is the first writing of yours that I have read. I will follow, and look forward to your book.

If I could do one thing, it would be to tell Barry to release the hurt caused by the American media in mocking the group. Really, the peons who cashed in on mocking the BeeGees hurt them tremendously. Such greatness to be treated that way was bullying at its worst. Barry and family need our love and gratitude. I hope future generations will be blessed to know the work of the three gifted brothers.

I find that as time passes, the positive energy I feel from the body of work of the Gibb brothers only grows stronger.  In my life, I have never actively engaged as a “fan.”  This summer, something compelled me to research, to see if others felt as I do; and a new world opened to me.  It is heartwarming to know others feel as I do.  I look forward to joining this group of likeminded souls.
