Cassis Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Gerard was much more Manly than Mary.Mary sang backing vocals on Bowie's "Sound and Vision" - I think her then hubby, Tony Visconti, the record producer, dragged her in.Remember Linda Lewis? SHE did the brilliant backing vocals on Bowie's "Panic in Detroit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I have a kitchen table in my workshop that came from the seminary that GMH lived in for the last years of his life. I don't think I can claim that he ever knew it, as it has a Formica top... (He died in 1889 and Formica wasn't invented until 1912)I did know a kid who thought he was Gerard Mainly Hopkins - dunno what was going on there. Only kid who ever bit me.
