Just curious - any more information about this? It doesn't seem to appear any songs on Light + Shade, right? So, maybe the next album will include more vocal songs? :-) And isn't it strange that her manager refused... wouldn't that have been great publicity for her? Hmm... Back to top

However, don't assume that there are no songs on Light + Shade, just because there's no human singer... Back to top

That interview is about two years old, around the time of TB2003 which doesn't haven't any songs on it either, so I don't know what album he wanted Maggie Reilly to sing on but I don't think it was this one, maybe Tres Lunas or Maestro. -------------- I hate getting up early.

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 30 2005, 20:52 He wouldn't necessarily have had any particular album in mind. Mike, like many composers/songwriters, keeps some ideas on the boil for a long time before finally serving them up (most memorably, Man In The Rain, which he'd been demoing with Barry Palmer back in the mid 80s, the music from which then became Heaven's Open). I have no idea whether or not it was one of the songs which are on Light + Shade which he had her in mind for, though. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 31 2005, 13:29 I'm sure the song he's revering to is Man in the Rain. Did he not say at the time that he asked Maggie to sing it for him but her manager told her, for some reason or other, not to. Thats why Cara Dillon sounds so similar, presumably she was the closest he could get. Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 09:17 I thought she was pregnant in that video. As for Maggie's manager, I wonder if she is the same one who manages Elizabeth Taylor. Sorry, Liz, it is hard to qualify as a movie star anymore if just about the only thing you do for in the last 30 years is play the mother-in-law in the Flintstones movie! -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Not really: gallery on her unofficial webpage. Quote (hiawatha @ Sep. 01 2005, 15:17) I thought she was pregnant in that video. As she gave birth to her child in 1985, it was probably so. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top
