Cheri and Ana, Steve and the band played two US tours I believe, in the mid/late 70s, one of which was as Support to The Kinks, playing 3000 seat theatres. Did you or any freinds/family see any of those shows? It has aalways intriqued me how Steve didn't become a huge star over the pond. He has all the singer-songwriter gifts and sincerity they love so much.

i say a definite yes to a PSYCHOMODO !!! T,SHIRT ,exactly as it appears on the album ,no other design could possibly beat it

I wasn't born yet and I don't think my family members were big concert goers in general at that time. I can't think of a single story from any aunt or uncle of *any* concert from anyone. Boo on them.

I have no idea either. He's certainly better than most of the crud the states produced during that time. And cuter.

I would like a time machine, k thanks. I don't think I'd use it in the most...responsible way though. *evil chuckle*

I just want a *general* shirt, maybe with a concert photo of Steve with his name on it or something.

No, I never saw him. In 1976 I was driving around the US for 9 months with a friend. At the end of our adventure, she went back to Laguna Beach in California and got married, and I ended up going to the Florida Keys to live for 7 years. I had never even HEARD of Steve Harley until last November when a Facebook friend posted a video of him singing "Make Me Smile", which in turn caused me to turn to YouTube where I saw all manner of brilliant songs by him and turned me into a BIG fan. No one I know has heard of him, either. Something is just wrong in the fabric of space that he never had a real career in the US.

I feel cheated that I did not get to "grow up" with him and his band. I, too, am flabbergasted that Steve did not make it over here; it just makes no sense. Maybe his timing was wrong, I don't know. I still think he could be a big star over here, there is just no reason why not. Some British stars don't translate over here (Cliff Richard is an example), but I don't think Steve fits that category. So, that is why I am in the process of rooting out every CD I can find that he ever made. The songs from the 70s still hold up now, it's amazing, and his newer songs would go over very well, I think. Steve, think of playing the Concord Pavillion in Northern California someday, why don't you. I'd LOVE to see you here.

That could work. I also like the photo of Steve that is on the cover of the CD "Anytime!". He looks so handsome.

My mother died today, Friday, at about 1:30 p.m. California time, down in San Diego. I am inconsolable. The reason I am posting this is because I have made a few friends here and I thought you might want to know. If you don't want to know, please disregard this message.
