Subject: Bay City Babylon Author: Wayne [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:56:43 03/15/04 Mon Hello Roller fan! Wanted to give you a quick update on the forthcoming bio on the band, "Bay City Babylon". Originally scheduled for publication in the Fall of 2003, the book has been delayed twice. Once to allow Les' excellent autobiography to have some "breathing room" and now, due to Tam Paton's continuing legal issues. He is due in front of the jury in his case in Mid April and hopefully, those proceedings will be wrapped up by May. If that is the case, an estimate on a street date is now sometime in August of 2004. As fans of the band, I think you will enjoy the book. It has been the mission since day one to present a detailed, unbiased retrospective that chronicles the entire saga of the band from it's humble beginnings to the present day. I am using this period of waiting to fortify the volume with additional interviews. Quite a few subjects that were unavailable a year ago have participated recently which only helps to round out the story even more. So, in a way this time has been a real blessing to this project. I wanted to use this forum as a means to update you as I get quite a few emails asking about the progress of the book. I hope this helps and, thanks for your interest. By the way, I am still seeking the cooperation of any fans who can contribute their memories of these specific periods/events: 1. BBC Radio "Fun Day" at Mallory Park, 1975. 2. CHUM sponsored appearance at Nathan Phillips Square Toronto, 1976 3. Atlantic City, NJ Steel Pier music hall concert 1976 4. Band house or studio in New Jersey 1980 5. Peppermint Lounge concert 1981 6. Harrah's Casino concert Lake Tahoe 1981 Email me waynecoy@aol.com if you'd like to share. Thanks. Sincerely, Wayne Coy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
