I sent an email to Steve Wright, asking him to wish Yusuf a Happy Birthday from us all, and mentioned that we had been to his Dad's old restaurant to celebrate this past weekend, but he didn't read it out, but just maybe he showed Yusuf  In the interview, Yusuf said, "I'm working on a new record and I could put it out probably in about a month, but the industry isn't ready for that, there's time runs and the art work and the credits all that stuff, it takes about six months"So maybe we should get to see the new album in February  ;D I think, Yusuf, was there to publicise the new Tea for the Tillerman Live DVD. Play.com are selling it for £7.99 Free delivery Also, he mentioned that 2 week ago, he was in L.A.!!! |

In LA huh. That figures! Father AND son were here..... I thought he was in Nashville saying hello to his friend Dolly Parton.
Hey I tried to go to download the radio interview but they want me to download realplayer and give them a credit card etc
Well I'm giving away that Majicat DVD anyway to my friend Lisa an American born Chinese who had to grow up in Arizona and said Catch Bull at 4 saved her life when she was 12 or something............
I'm gonna listen to my homeboy Don McLean for a while:)

I also sent an E-mail and a text to Steve Wright to ask Yusuf if any concerts were on the way. I suppose he did answer saying that with no concerts were on the way. Also he sounded so much like the old Cat |

As Sue said in her report, muslims do not celebrate birthdays. Maybe that's the reason Yusuf does not respond to any birthday wishes. If he ever looked on the site, I wonder if he would be at least slightly moved by all the fuss about his birthday. Well even if he doesn't approve, I doubt we will ever stop making a fuss over him...

It actually says on Yusuf' own site , that the Tea for the Tillerman DVD is to be released to Celebrate his 60th birthday. I was with Sue when we were told this about muslims , not celebrating , but the other lady said that not all Muslims think the same , and that she and her family did celebrate . Yusuf also said on the programe something to the effect that he has to live in both worlds , that of his faith with normal every day life and he did mention his 60th I also sent a text to the programe , telling him of our day and sending him peace and best wishes  |

Listening to the interview this moment.
Sue you're number one. Really appreciate the trouble you go to.
Good to hear him so happy and content. Very relaxed with the interview. Was he actually singing live? If he did, he certainly sounded so much like the old cat that it was too good to be true. He hasn't lost that unique voice and it made me shiver with delight.
Thankyou so much Sue, it made my night complete after a long days work.

Just realized that the songs are from the new DVD. Anyway he still sounded great in the interview, and he seems to have come to terms with his past and present more than ever before.
I would like to add for those who did not hear the interview, he cleared up the misunderstanding about him of not washing. He stated that he does take showers and not baths. Bathing leaves a dirty grey ring in the bath. They all had a good laugh in the interview, and so did I. It made me feel good hearing him so relaxed that he was able to joke about something like bathing.
It seems life has been treating him very kindly lately.

Not if you put BUBBLE BATH in the tub it doesn't leave a ring. Anyway he's a millionaire like he cleans his own bathtub, I don't think so. Duuuhhhh!
Hey I couldn't open the esnips file. HELP

OMG you guys this is so weird.
I clicked on the esnips link and got THE COMPANY I WORK FOR! BOSLEY! Big advertisement at the top and on the side. If you want to know anything about Hair or Eyebrow Transplants let me know I've been working there for Five years....!
That is so weird. Still trying to listen to Cat Stevens' Interview.
I think we are going to have another earthquake
