Yes thank you Guinivere...
Very nice to hear that a great time was had by all...and some great pictures and stories to come too I was told. Should find out more first hand on Friday. You have to give Ray a lot of credit for showing up there. There are not many people at his level of fame or stardom or what ever you want to call it, but who would connect with their fans at this level and be as intimate as he has been in recent years. The same can be said about Dave as well. The KinKs were once called " A Thinking Mans Band " in a great NY times article and review around the time of the release of Muswell Hillbillies, and I could not agree more, but now they are also a " Peoples Band ", How do I get Close you may ask,, the answer could be just wait and Ray or Dave might just come up to you first and shake you hand. KinKs fans are the best and Ray and Dave deserve all the credit for the cultivation of us great group of misfits and should be very proud of us as we certainly are of them. God save the kinks, Dave and Ray and all their loyal fans, ( new and old ) that have supported them all along, (and to coin another Reprise era promotional phrase used on a 1969 promo album for the kinks), " Then Now and Inbetween " and I will add hopefully tomorrow!
as always; fighing the never ending battle for truth justice and the Kause Known as KinKdom!

He did retire, but he came to the Kon, and Jim asked him to join them onstage and a loud Nobby chant (which I may or may not have initiated....) erupted
