Pupu would be jealous!

I have had so much attention today but not all good! I arrived in Amsterdam and SWR called from Brentford (Essex, not California) to ask about the Straldo Em Hitz compilation which she has heard about. I explained as mostly sincere that I could that I believed it was not good for the memory of Klaus and she interrupted me by shouting that she has waited long enough and needs to have her second swimming pool now! Well I was very stunned and wanted to speak to Helmut but he is in 'dark' mode presently and cannot come out of his special room.

So cut cut the long story off, she wants me to let the party mix come out for the sake of money. It breaks my heart but she is entitled to my respect.

Anyhow, also I got a call from classical actor Anthony Booth who wants very much to know if his demo acetate version of Wonderful Kiss, Marvelous Eyes, which would have appeared on Elektrische Lippen if he had been the leading actor, is to be included onto a Oeuvre volume. I explained that we did not plan it (party because it is true to say I think that Klaus hated that song!) and he became quite angry and told me he badly needed the money for an apartment in Liverpool. I did not ask as to why! He is most upset with me. I am sorry he is feeling this way about it all.

Anyway, also it is Helmut's time to be taken to the Spa but it is quite a trouble to get him from his room. At the moment he will only read notes in his letterbox and not even come to his intercom. Pupu believes I should assert myself over him but come on - for old times sake of Klaus and the faith? No way. Maintain the funk at always. This was my promise to him.

Away for egg mayonnaise.

Peace,

It has been mentioned by the esteemed (and very clever) Prof. Walter Samuel that Klaus and the classical actor from London, Dennis Waterman, became close in the early 70's when Klaus made the Brown on Brown album.

The thing I want to say is that Klaus and Dennis certainly had a most creative connection but I should be making it very clear that they were not at all gay. Dennis was not only playing a tough guy cop on TV but was a professional boxer also. Klaus was modest but very macho in a fight too. He had no problem with gay love or any love, of course, but I just wanted to make it clear.

Peace,
