April 29: Al Stewart on the 'Net
Thank technology for Al Stewart's resurgence as an appreciated singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Using the Internet as a pathway, increasing numbers of people have been able to rediscover his literate, melodic works or to hear and fall in love with them for the first time. And if top honors are to be awarded for pushing the renewed interest in Stewart's work — beyond the primary credit of course due to the artist himself — the most deserving would be two individuals: webmaster and newsletter editor Kim Dyer and Stewart biographer Neville Judd.

It wasn't necessary to say what you did, Mr. West, but I am more than grateful for it, as well as appreciative, overwhelmed and happy to know that someone found something of value in it.
An excellent series of articles, I learnt a little bit more about Al and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Anything which helps to raise the profile of this vastly under rated artist is to be applauded. In the UK we are looking forward to the forthcoming tour in October/November. There are some big venues - Warwick Arts centre is 1200, and the Liverpool Phil is about 1000. No intimate little clubs though which I feel is a shame but at least he's coming and bringing Dave N which is wonderful.

I prefer intimate venues to big ones too, but if there is some way for me to pull off a trip to the Albert Hall show, I am so there...
Many thanks for your comment, Ms. Stevens.
