Hey folks!
Tell me, is there a better way of celebrating your birthday than to have Boney M performing live?
Not at your doorstep, of course, but in your city...!!!
Thanks to Dr. Santa, my entire family got a chance to watch their live audition at Hyderabad yesterday. You can't imagine our ecstacy watching Marcia Barrett and one more of her original gang (the guy with the gruff voice who says 'She's crazy like a fool') singing golden oldies like 'Sunny','Take the Heat off me',' Rivers of Babylon','Rasputin', 'Daddy Cool', 'Ma Baker','Boonoonoos','No woman No cry','Hooray Hooray' ,and 'Brown Girl in the ring'.
Santa, a hearty thanks to you for making my birthday so scintillating! I think this was the best of my birthdays in my 49 years of existence!
And Louis--you really missed the show by not turning up. Better luck next time, dude!

So you have mellowed the 49th year in the casks of Nizam. Quite heady indeed ! Have a wonderful time !
Hi Venu....
Sure, what better a bash than the birthday boy swaying to the tunes of Boney M. I bet your kids must have have thought their Daddy was really cool ;-} So there were only two of the original members? I remember there was a lot of making and breaking up of the group, but I guess ulitmately each was allowed to have their own official tours. Humein kya farq paenda as long as we get to hear the original songs, right?
Happy Birthday,Venu aka Com Nabinsky --what a great way to chill out !
Santa -- when is the next band coming along?
Wow! Too good man!! Santa, unfair!! You are being partial to folks in Hyderabad ;-)
Well, Belated Happy Birthday Venu. And may you have many more happier ones to come.
Nothing can beat live music. 20 years back(30 Sept 1988, to be precise) when i was in Delhi i got to hear Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Sting and others at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Boy, what an experience... what sound, blinding lights, the volume and the charged up atmosphere... wish i could make it to HYD. Was a BoneyM fan too...

Oops I 4got!

Thanks to all of you for your birthday greetings.
Vimal, looks like you had a real chill out in 1988. Lucky guy!!
Nargis, you are right about the band splitting up in the 90s, but as you said, who cares as long as the lead players are there in front of you.
Venu - Zen master ,
Belated Happy Birthday .. Yup,
"there's no better way to cool , one bash Daddy Cool ,you went krazy on yr birth lo'l , one bash Daddy Cool " Sure I missed it .... Boy , I am jealous of you .
