<Sylvain> oh yes... definitely!
<Trond> Say Goodbye is the most charming/lovely song I’ve ever heard.....
<Trond> Will you put it on your next album??
<Pomfret> I have thought about the double CD
<Trond> A double CD would be GREAT.
<Pomfret> "Say goodbye" will be on the album

City... despite me chosing the longest road! :o)
<Jorge> from Yosemite... :o)
<Jorge> A question.... could you tell us something more concrete about the
record companies you're in touch with?

are great!! And before >I forget I'm sending you and the rest of the people
in the chat Peggy's best regards!! (I talked to her by phone a few hours
ago...) THANKS
<Sylvain> ok... do I get one now? :o)
<Pomfret> My love to Peggy
<Jorge> I also think a double CD will be a great solution
<Jorge> Sylvain.... YOUR TURN MY FRIEND!
<Sylvain> Roger, your electric guitar playing is great and yet it's obcured
a lot by your accoustic and keyboard playing... do you play electric at
home? do you miss it? can we expect some on your next albums?
<Jorge> (and then Walter perhaps... ) :o)
<Sylvain> oh yes!
<Pomfret> The bigger my band becomes then it allows me to play more
electric guitar
<Sylvain> ok... Roger how do you feel about this chat?
<Sylvain> want to go for another round?
<Pomfret> I'm enjoying it.
<Sylvain> oh and I was forgetting... Walter's with you and can ask you all
he wants but maybe he'd like to ask something on the chat... Walter?
<Jorge> Roger... Sarah is not here becuase she is on holydays I think... we
are missing her here... she was about to go to Brazil to see you!
<Sylvain> yeah... poor Sarah will hate missing you here!... how about a few
words for her?

<Aine> I also have to fly to London for concerts so can I ask that if you
ever play there can yo "GO" for a week-end gig.  And also er, can you tell
me what "Rosie" is about.
<Aine> Angel Hair is in none of my gardening books.  My fav song so please
help!
<Pomfret> Maybe I can come to Ireland to play. I woud like that.
<Aine> I love your music Roger - oh you would have a blast I'm sure.
<Aine> We could get a little session going afterwards in a pub!
*** Sylvain sets mode: -v Aine
*** Sylvain sets mode: +v Andrea
<Sylvain> and Andrea from Italy!
<Andrea> Why you haven't included the whole Rites of Passage show in the
album?Do you think you can put the other live tracks,such as Lord is it
mine,as B-sides for future singles?Or,what about a limited release for the
fans in Internet?
<Pomfret> The line 'acting upon information received' came to me and I had
to build a song around that
<Jorge> Roger... got Andrea's question?
<Sylvain> maybe Marcio's taking a break... :o)
<Pomfret> The recordings of the other songs were not quite good enough to
release.
*** Sylvain sets mode: -v Andrea
*** Sylvain sets mode: +v DougA
<DougA> thanks Sylvain
<Sylvain> and back to Doug from Canada....
<DougA> Hi again Roger .. with Y2K approaching have you given some thoughts

<Pomfret> "Say goodbye".
<DougA> lol
<Jorge> good answer Roger!!
<DougA> great song!
<Sylvain> lol
*** Sylvain sets mode: -v DougA
*** Sylvain sets mode: +v guille
<guille> I had the chance to hear the original ROP sessions in Santa cruz
and I enjoyed a hard version of "london" and a fantastic version of
"dessert love"....why have you left out these songs from hai hai in your
latest shows? are you not satisfied with these songs? another question
would be "what do you expect from the next world tour: promote your music
in front of 15.000 fans or be so close to 300 fans per show like this last
year?
<Sylvain>  you know Guille I think... :o)
<Jorge> wow!!
<Sylvain> yeah I think he was ready! :o)

guestbook? Do you read everything people write there?
<Pomfret> We'll see how good the Brazilians are at singing. I suspect I'll
be playing School
<Jorge> great!!!
<Jorge> and about Showdown...?
<Pomfret> I read the guestbook regularly which is why I recognise so many
of your names. I love the fact so many friendships are forming because of
it
<Jorge> yeah
<Jorge> and what do you think about THIS CHAT??
<Pomfret> I am still thinking about re-doing Showdown on the next CD
<Pomfret> It's great. Another reason I must learn to type!!!!
<Sylvain> Roger - would you like us to make the room normal again and have
everybody talk publicly like on a normal chat? maybe you'd be curious to
see how it usually is?
