She was a v brave woman - I'd have been a screaming banchie if I had to put up with the replacement midwife! Poor George - they used the ventuse/hoover thing - he must have looked like a conehead when he was born!

Oh, I love the Bee Gees! They're also some of the most wonderful people anyone could meet. Maurice Gibb's untimely death was terrible.

Dirk always stands out in a crowd - or could it be his giant ...................

The name rather gives you away Are you a Dirk fan too?

I don't actually watch Big Brother...I was just doing a search for "Bee Gees" and saw them mentioned in this thread.

I can understand people not being a fan of them, their music isn't for everybody, but I do think they are underrated in that a lot of people think they were just a 1970s disco group, and that's not true. And they were/are really nice people, so that's also part of the reason I respect them so much.

No point in letting your impending doom make you look any less gorgeous ...........................

Did you see them live many times? And, indeed, meet them? Many bands are not fully recognised and appreciated for the breadth of music they have produced - I suspect that is the case with the Bee Gees too

A giant teddy provides excellent cover

The end ..................... for Dirk's character

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...nap-188601.png

I've only been a fan since 2001 (I was 12 then) and only two years later, the Bee Gees came to an "end" with the death of Maurice, so I never got the chance to see them live.

I've never met them, but would like to. I have asked Barry some questions in the chat room on his website (it was really him.) He schedules chats with fans, usually about once or twice a month or so.

With the Bee Gees, because they were so popular in the late 70s, they've kind of been stereotyped as a 70s group that sang in high-pitched voices. I really like their 70s music, but some people aren't aware that they first became famous in 1967, and were releasing songs even before that in Australia (they moved there from England in 1958 and released their first song in March 1963, when Robin and Maurice were 13 and Barry was 16.) And they continued to make albums in the 80s and 90s with their last being released in 2001. So whenever someone says they were just a 70s disco group, I always feel compelled to correct them. It's the least I can do...

Afternoon. Nice pics Cicero, as always.
I'm having a busy weekend, but will be popping in and out this evening when I can...

That's great that you have been able to put your questions to Barry Not all musicians treat their fans so well!! And good for you for taking the opportunity - I'm terrible at things like that

As you say, there's much more to the Bee Gees than their 70s output I was looking at their discography a couple of months ago and there must have been a good 25 albums over about 35 years - not bad going!!!!
