lhucekb: saw you on saturday night…had a fucking ball you
were incredible but were you supposed to turn up when you did or were

venue as well…

Pooh_bear: deb missed your concert in london as i was on

soozie: Deborah…..how much did play while in London.

Deborah: the shows in London were
sensational

Pooh_bear: u still there soozie

Mark: Staying in Oz for long?

Deborah: Mark, plans are fluid

soozie: Members of the Boonah Chapter of your fan club are
wondering whether you still have photo’s of their inaugural meeting
and hope you have blue taced them onto your fridge

Deborah: hey i remember you

Deborah: u turned up at that show at
Noosa

Pooh_bear: soozie want be at the show in brissie

soozie: yes……life sometimes is embarassing..especially
when one wakes the next morning

lhucekb: stoopid question that i have been dieing to ask,
from “Bitch Epic” does “DCN # 348” stand for deborah conway’s
nightmare?

Deborah: of course it does.

Pooh_bear: soozie have u still got the bit of ham from kelly’s??

Deborah: what did you all think of the
underground lovers ?

Bryan: Deborah: Why “Only The Bones”?

Deborah: as a title or a single ?

Bryan: As a single.

Deborah: ask michael gudinski his
choice

Bryan: OK… but then why did you choose to redo it on 3rd
Husband?

Deborah: cos no one bought Ultrasound

Bryan: 🙁 I did. And then I turned up to your gig a week
later and you were bloody selling autographed copies… 🙁

lhucekb: i did!!!!!!!!! i love “3 love” so much….its even
better in concert

Deborah: bryan, bring it to a gig and
we’ll personalise it and autograph it

Bryan: Will do. Thursday. 🙂

soozie: Pooh bear I would love to do Brisbane show but I am
working in Malaysia….but I am hoisting 6 people to the Sydney show
….a sort of subgroup to the Boonah Chapter but based in Rose Bay

Mark: re staying is oz, special interest group of the willy
festival, any chance for jan ’98?

Deborah: mark, always happy to do the
will festival, will be large with child, you bring the hot water I’ll
bring the towels

Mark: I remember last time!

soozie: Deborah……how long do you think you will be
based in London

Deborah: here’s a scoop for you all…

Deborah: baby 2 is due on the same day as
baby one

Bryan: Makes birthday parties easier.

etroup: wow! time travel!

lhucekb: unreal!!! you gonna give him/her a cool name as
well?

soozie: got any names ready for baby two

Deborah: re london, when they get rid of
daryl somers

lhucekb: you hate d. somers??? could you be more perfect???

Deborah: no name suggestions please

soozie: I always thought you and he had a perfect
connection

Deborah: actually we were thinking about
calling the child daryl

Deborah: but we settled on Ozzie

Pooh_bear: some thing like Considerate Understanding
Nineties Type you once described bert newton as!!

lhucekb: i imagine Syd to have a personality and a
half…she a cool kid?

Deborah: yes

soozie: WASN’T THAT THAT COUNTDOWN BLOKE

Deborah: maybe it was

Bryan: Deb: A question about the album. I felt ‘String of
Pearls’ and ‘Bitch Epic’ both had a definite theme to them, but not
so much 3rd Husband. Any comment on this?

soozie: Why did you write such different stuff in London

Deborah: times were hard

Deborah: what did you think the themes
were on the first two ?

Deborah: my 3rd husband’s themes are sex,
death, memory, and sex

Bryan: Well ‘String’ semes to have a lot about
relationships – and how they can go wrong. I think Bitch’s theme
speaks for itself.

Deborah: we had to live without Daryl,
without Kennett

Deborah: sometimes these things are more
evident after the fact

Veronica: Deborah, do you think you will ever release in
the US?

Deborah: god knows I’d love to

Veronica: it’s damn hard to get your cds over here

Deborah: we wait to see if someone is
brave enough to put it out

lhucekb: you gonna release a live cd like you did with
“Epic Theatre”? if so will it be available seperately as well?

Deborah: what about over the net
?

Veronica: expensive, but the only real option

Deborah: you mean contractual obligation
record ?

ronny: shipping from australia is expensive on top of over
priced australian cd prices.

Deborah: veronica, you need a pen
pal

lhucekb: you have a definite market in the states, i have
mailed some to friends there and they loved it

Deborah: yankees, why are you awake ?

Veronica: What can I say, I’m a fan. 1:30am on a work night
is not too much 🙂

Deborah: ooh, I am touched, have you ever
seen me play ?

Veronica: sadly, no.

etroup: does the pope wear a tall pointy hat?

manage me briefly

sharam?? i reckon that’d sound really cool

Deborah: max sharam, we don’t know each

Simpsons glasses and he is not kidding, there’s about fifteen jars of
the stuff here!)

Deborah: so what’s the question ?

Bryan: Well… you’re not exactly a stereotyped Melb Jewish
girl. I was just wondering whether you do feel ties to the Jewish
community etc, or if its really not part of your life.

15 jars now
