That's a great idea   Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Oct. 08 2004, 09:47 Hey, I got into Mike Oldfield all by myself, but I intend to get my niece into music at all costs. I mean, mother also wants to get her into music, but if my niece follows mother's musical tastes, it will be a catastrophe. I almost always have music going on, so I hope the melodies are sticking to her head! She seems to dig Sparks already, and slowly, she'll make her way through The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Yes and Mike Oldfield, if it all depends on me! -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds. Also check my Bandcamp page: http://ferniecanto.bandcamp.com Back to top

Blind Faith Unregistered Posted: Oct. 10 2004, 22:01 I never knew there were so many avid fans. I bought TB in december 73 and still have the copy. My two daughters (18 and 11) believe MO is a normal part of music as Bach or Chopin   I often have to track down my cds all over he house. Back to top

sister_in_the_dark Group: Members Posts: 24 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Oct. 20 2004, 14:33 My brother listened to Mike's music in the 80's and since that I do the same My Dad got me into 50's and 60's Rock n' Roll which had a quite big influence on my taste of music today I guess. These days I try to give him something back. Bought him a cd of 'The Meteors'. He's listening to it in his car and he really seems to like it. Wonder if I can get him to wear a 'Flat' and a leather jacket -------------- ...spin the wheel of fortune or learn to navigate... Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Oct. 20 2004, 22:43 My kids may be suffering from Mike overload. They generally make grumpy faces when I start playing Mike's stuff and go "oh not again". But then, My son loves MVR and thinks the music parts are "cool", (he's to young to know that saying "cool" is really uncool), and even my 6 year old daughter is getting the hang of flying Avatars. Then I noticed that they like it more than they admit, 'cos when i went to turn off the in-car tape of TB3, they wanted more. I'll keep working on them, gotta be better than Busted and other boybands. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Dec. 10 2004, 07:22 Hello everyone, Aussie fans, fantastic. I first heard TB as an advert for the movie and was only 12 so couldn't see it and asked for the soundtrack for my 13th birthday. I have 3 grown sons, 2 are fans, the 3rd likes rap, I joke about who will get my collection when I am dead. I live in the Adelaide Hills, moved from Sydney in 71. Have all his albums, Dark Star mags, only one poster, and an excellent oil painting of TB my brother did for my 40th birthday. My sister has TB tattooed on her chest. I admit I listen to him less these days because I love a variety of music but I still enjoy putting 5 different cds on and playing them on random and enjoying a unique and new listening experience every time. Oh yeh, and he's cute too, esp in his hippy looking Jesus days. Why are most of his fans male though? Do guys have a better ear for music? Contact me anyone tubulartracy@hotmail.com mandt@internode.on.net Ciao Tracy TubularBelle -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!

Ratty Group: Members Posts: 386 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: May 03 2005, 17:41 Hi Megz, im not Australian but i am a Father who has two daughters Katie(8) and Grace(4). Both of them love to sing and dance to Mikes music. They love Moonlight Shadow and Katie has even done a show at her school were she sings and dances to MS. They also love Cuckoo Song and again make up dances to this song. Does this qualify me for honorary Aussie Citizenship?     -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

MikeAholic Group: Members Posts: 205 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Sep. 27 2005, 04:52 I'm 44 and my son of 15 has become a great Mike Oldfield fan too. We are living in Belgium and at this moment waiting for the newest CD to arrive (it should arrive today!. Luckely it is a double CD, so we will most likely split the cd's to be able to listem to them first   . -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us ! Back to top

MikeAholic Group: Members Posts: 205 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Sep. 27 2005, 11:09 Do you mean to imply that my son and I don't have some fun because we both love Mikes music ?   And what's a moniker ? The word is not present in my dictionary. -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us ! Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Sep. 27 2005, 20:17 The 'fun' that Groovy Granny is refering to actually means humorously lighthearted conflicts I think. And a moniker is the name that you have chosen to call yourself, MikeAholic, I find it inventive and funny. Cheers. Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early.

Nexus6 Group: Members Posts: 16 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Sep. 28 2005, 02:38 Now, with me it gets very complicated. I was born in Switzerland, live now in Australia, have a daughter (she's 15 now, she lives in Switzerland now) and she loves MO as well ... she heard them when I was listening to them... and she loves it ...
