I realize that many of you don't live in the USA, but for anyone who does, or anyone visiting in the next couple of weeks, I thought I'd take this opportunity to invite one and all down to our record release party/gig and/or two gigs following that. Please come help celebrate my new Naim release, DREAMHOUSE. And for anybody actually visiting from abroad, the beer is on me. Hope to see several hundred of you there.

a note of support concerning the CD. Got it last week and it's really jolly fab and has been gracing the cd3 more than anything else the last few days.

No West Coast gigs planned as of now, but I'm always willing to go wherever they'll have me, logistics willing. I used to play up and down the whole West Coast a lot in "the old days," 1977-1985 with my band Simon and Bard Group. I even lived in San Francisco in 1973, and lots of friends and relatives out there.

Pete, so glad you're digging the record, very gratifying. Thanks.

You should have been there, Jonathan, it was a groove. And you could have had a couple of beers on me.

But anyway, very glad you're digging Dreamhouse so much ... after all, that's why I do it. Thanks for the kind words.

Fred--

Tried to pick Dreamhouse up at Twist and Shout, one of Denvers best record stores and they couldn't even find it in their ordering system. I ordered it from my Naim dealer so problem solved, but is it supposed to be available more widely ?

Cheers,

Bob

PS--Lyle Mays album is spectacularly good !Ï

Bob, I'd be grateful if you forwarded your question to Anna Tooth and Paul Stephenson at sales@naim-uk.com

I suppose it depends on the local distributor, but Denver is a major market so one would think that at least one distributor there would carry it. Thanks for your diligence.

Glad you're digging Lyle's album. Have you tried Oregon In Moscow yet? You'll thank me again!

Fred
