Club Q Q107-Loyalty Club (Southern ON Only) v2

In a Facebook post on July 14, Roger Waters explained how the one-off reunion with David Gilmour happened - and revealed that it will happen again.

The post reads, in its entirety:

So here's what happened. Last year, 'The Hoping Foundation' a charity that supports Palestinian refugee kids, (www.hopingfoundation.org) put on a fund raiser at Ronnie Scott's Club in London, the idea of which was to raise money by auctioning karaoke performances by various celebrities. David was there as a supporter and was moved to perform an impromptu rendition of George Gershwin's 'Summertime?' which he performed aided and abetted by supermodel Kate Moss.

In the wake of that evening, someone, I think it was David himself, came up with this 'Wouldn't it be funny', idea. What if he (David that is) were to sing the old Teddy Bears song 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' with me (Roger that is), what with us having been so famously at each other's throats for years and years. Get it!!!! Anyway he E-mailed me with this suggestion and I loved it, so then it was just a question of juggling dates and deciding to do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb' to round out our little set. Or so I thought, until he sent me a number of very musical and eloquent demos of how we could do the song in two-part harmony. I listened with a sinking heart, knowing that David, with his superior vocal skills, could sing either part standing on his head, whilst I would have to search for a different key and then struggle through hours and hours of routining a performance that lay way outside my vocal comfort zone. To my eternal shame I bottled out and told Dave I would happily do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'C[omfortably] Numb', but that 'To Know him is to Love him' was beyond me.

Some weeks passed with David cajoling me from time to time, telling me how easy it would be, but I clung resolutely to my fear of failure until one day he made one final entreaty. I quote "If you do 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' for The Hoping Foundation Gig, I'll come and do 'C[omfortably] Numb' on one of your Wall shows". Well! You could have knocked me down with a feather. How f**king cool! I was blown away. How could I refuse such an offer. I couldn't, there was no way. Generosity trumped fear. And so explaining that I would probably be s**te, but if he didn't mind I didn't, I agreed and the rest is history. We did it, and it was f**king great. End of story. Or possibly beginning.

Roger

PS. Just heard from David, he will decide in due course which gig he wants to do, it will be a surprise!

I understand completely after my younger sister had health issues that caused her to slip into a coma. I had the unpleasant decision to unplug her after all her organs shut down....my Mom just could not do it because of her own health problems....it was the HARDEST choice of my life


Stay strong TR !!!

Sorry for the loss of your brother. Glad he could help so many people with his "Gifts of Life".

Sounds like he enjoyed music, performing, having fun & is probably getting lessons from the great players in Heaven. Stevie Ray Vaughan for one! As they say, there is a great band or 2 in Heaven, with a new guest player now.

We give you our virtual shoulder to cry upon.

Here's another one that's grinding my gears today.

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/20.../14718366.html

This a**clown was deported in 2004. He applied as a refugee, but was denied. Instead of sending his sorry a** back to Nigeria, he raped his ex-girlfriend, then raped and murdered a woman (dumping her body at the curb in a hockey bag) in his rooming house in 2006, while out on bail, awaiting trial on the first charges.

Oh, and the best part? He's HIV-positive. His legal bills and medications, all paid for by us, the Canadian taxpayers? Over $2 MILLION!

[truenorthstrongnfree]

OH!!! And if $2M isn't enough? He was sentenced to 36 years, with no chance of parole for 25 years. We're stuck paying for his meds, food and shelter for longer than his victim was alive.

[WULFMAN]

Did anyone get the sleuth?

[Strat-man]

OH!!! And if $2M isn't enough? He was sentenced to 36 years, with no chance of parole for 25 years. We're stuck paying for his meds, food and shelter for longer than his victim was alive.

This just makes me SICK. Imagine what good a hospital could do with that 2 million dollars!

Bring back capital punishment.
