CPCustomdubwise Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Can I say here that I may well be the only person on Basschat to have had a near-death experience involving Maurice Gibb. As a student-holiday postie, I was astride an aged, cantankerous and ludicrously-overloaded Royal Mail bike, teetering along an expensive and exclusive private road in Esher one wintery day in 1986, when blatting round the corner came a shiny new Aston Martin driven, as it turned out, by the very BeeGee in question... It was at that precise moment that the enormous bag of Christmas cards decided to jump ship, depositing itself...and me...in the middle of the road and causing the unsuspecting Maurice to make lots of screeching noises ( I think it was a combination of his brakes and that very falsetto of which there has been some discussion). His reactions were admirable; none of it was his fault and I am here to relate the tale. Anyhow, apropos of nothing much, a little vignette.... And do you know, it never occurred to me at the time to ask him about R*c*e*b*c*e*s.....; I probably should have, but he seemed a little flustered. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 He seemed like the least of a twonk out of the brothers too. In the Clive Anderson storm-off (which some of us may remember) I think Maurice seemed like the one who may have been prepared to take the joke and laugh it off. Subject to my memory of course.

4000 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Perhaps surprisingly to some on here, I was quite a big disco fan back in the day. Used to love busting a move on the dance floor, til self-consciousness set in mid-teens. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I was in a Top 40 band, I replaced Dave LaRue when he left for Berklee, so I played some questionable material for $ in my day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskwave Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yeah I think he played that syrupy smooth line on Andy Gibbs Everlasting Love....beautiful understated playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
