Douglas friend, and indeed friend to us all, singer Margo Buchanan, is releasing her debut album, aptly entitled "I should've done this years ago" on May 15. The album is dedicated to Douglas and contains one of his favourite songs; "(I wanna be a) Rockstar". Read more about that song, and listen to it, here: http://www.douglasadams.se/stuff/music.html

For more info about Margo, and to listen to snips from the album, go to http://www.margobuchanan.com

Margo, if you're reading this, we all wish you all the best.

Margo is seen singing here at one of the parties at Douglas house. And yes, that's Dave Gilmour on guitar and in the back we see Gary Brooker of Procul Harum (Whiter Shade of Pale), and I think the right arm plonking the other guitar belongs to Robbie Macintosh.

Had I the faintest idea what scrummy means, this would probably have been a very witty reply. But I don't, so it's not.

And now that you have explained to me what it means, I can't think of something witty. I can just agree, even though I've never met the angel in person.

I have no clue, this being her debut album, but I'm thinking Sam Brownish, since they are such chums. I'm probably way off, though.

Margo is an absolute darling. I just got a mail from her in which she says that we can keep the song Rockstar as a downloadable mp3 on this site.
Quote:
In my book any fan of Douglas should not pay for Rockstar. So as far as I am concerned, it should stay where it is and be downloaded free of charge.

I think I'm in love.

Wow! I just listened to Margo! She's great!

The Rockstar video is cute, and I hope everyone watched "The Zoo" too!

Hey Dukey, what do you think of including a link to Margo's website in the http://www.douglasadams.se/stuff/music.html? Might be a nice response to her generous gesture!

Speaking of generous gesture ...

Hey Margo, how about sending a signed copy of your new cd to the DAC's Top 10 post whores? :mrgreen:

Nope, a couple of weeks ago. But I sense someone will puff his way past me in the not so distant future!
