| Alex..what i was talking about was the use of 'backing tracks', not a sequencer, which we all know has been used in the band since at least true colors. I think we were discussing using prerecorded tracks of vocals or instruments. I asked this question to Mark King 3 days ago, and his response was what i posted. Now it 'could' be he is talking about 'THIS' tour, and not a previous tour, since Don is talking about a song that is NOT currently being performed. So, Don, ask Mark yaself and clear it all up, if you care to do.. Win p.s. thanks for the gift, didnt know u could bake ;-) | ||

Mark told me that in > Cologne after the show in Nov 02. well lots of CDs will come out in 2003, dozens each week. So that could be a sly answer to your question that seems to be answered withthe exact opposite when anyone else ponders it to him. Or we could just have anoer internet release of Cover42 playing along to the hits. > That is bullsh*t, even if it came from MK himself. It seems beyond clear that MK doesn't always think being honest with the fans is...'a priority'. j __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

Do you not think that when a band such as Level 42 who have been so successful after so many years looses a member and someone steps in to take their place it must take a lot of guts and be very scary I can only say that anyone who walks on stage with MK and plays as well as they all do has my utmost respect and admiration and i only wish i could play half as well as any of them regardless of who is better than who They all bring their own individuality to the songs new and old and for that i personally say thanks to all of you from the original line up to the present day and lets not forget the late Alan Murphy god rest his soul | ||

| Hi, Merry xmas to thems that celebrate it. One Man - great song, written by Mark King solo, I believe? So let's recognize that more great material may be *possible* In ancient Mexican mythology, "Quetzalcoatl" was the god of the Air. He presided over commerce, and was said to have predicted the coming of the Spaniards. Sort of a feathered serpent kind of thing. Is this the lyric in One Man? wishing you all Good Music in the New Year! -TF __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Greetings everyone,
I just wanted to send out a quick message wishing you a merry Christmas and all the best this coming new year. I am currently out in Baltimore, MD where we’ve got 2 inches of snow so far today! This is pretty exciting for a California boy.
Anyway, I hope you’re all healthy and happy with your loved ones today. Take care of yourselves,
James R. Sutton james @ jamesrsutton.com

| I hope all of you had a lovely Xmas....the family allowed me to play one Level 42 CD at least. I was looking at the Level 42 Greatest Hits Video last night and I hope someone here could answer me this question. Near the end of the 'Something about you' video whilst Mark is sitting on the train he 'mimes' some words. I have never been able to decipher the message .....anyone know the answer? Many thanks and keep safe Danny | ||
