- Read on the following link the story about "The Wizard", not the song
itself but the fire chief: http://www.newstimes.com/danbury/ci_8351536?source=rss
(thanks to Jay Pearson for the link).
- The latest "Classic Rock" mag in the UK has a great 37-page article on "Britrock"
where it splits the UK into regions and gets rock musos from that area to
discuss the local well known bands/artists. For the North West Paul
Rodgers and Trevor Bolder talk about bands like The Animals, Def Leppard
and David Coverdale (Rodgers also gets to talk about Trevor). At the
bottom of the page there is a foot note: "Uriah Heep's new album Wake the
Sleeper is scheduled for release in late May". For the South and London
Francis Rossi (Status Quo) gets to talk about Deep Purple, David Bowie and
Eric Clapton amongst others and about Uriah Heep he says: "(...) They've
made a new album (Wake The Sleeper) and it's very, very good". The article
finishes with a list of the 65 best British Songs: #62 for "Salisbury"!
Thanks to Mike Taylor for the info.
