I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN

Today we are still beset with computer problems; something which has been somewhat of a feature of the last week. We are also sad to note the death of Michael Dunford of Renaissance; our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends, as well as to the other members of the band. On a more pleasant note? There isn't one really. However I am sure things will look up; they usually do...

We start off today with our regular visit to the demesne of Thom the World Poet

I am very fond of Erik Norlander. As you may or may not know I did an interview with him last week, but when it was all over he posted the following resume of the whole thing on Facebook, which was so nicely put that I couldn't resist reposting it..

New music from the multitalented Mimi Page

Steve Howe reveals his doubts about the future of Yes

I woke up this morning to an e-mail from Rob Ayling telling me the sad news that Michael Dunford of Renaissance has just died. He wrote: "I will miss Michael, he was always good fun and absolute pleasure to deal with, as well has being a stunning composer and musician - the Prog world will miss him as will I".

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
 
The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
