Hi John,

I hope the above information is both interesting and useful.

I will create a link to your site if you don't mind. I see that you have made a link to mine, for which I thank you, but could you please change its title to:

The Shadows & Jet Harris pages

"Shadsfax" is an entirely different publication produced by Tony Hoffman. I have no connection with Shadsfax other than that I like to Think of Tony as a friend after several hours of phone conversations regarding our mutual obsession. I put a page on for him as he doesn't have internet access at the moment.

I like the sound of your database, and wonder if you might let me have a look at it. I have been toying with the idea of setting up an MS Access database for my own collection but haven't decided how to structure it. It would be interesting to see how you have approached it. I think that I have all The Shads' official releases (and some unofficial ones) together with all recordings by Jet Harris and a lot of Brian Bennett's. I might be able to help you with more information.

Well, welcome to the growing band of Shadows sites. When I started, there was only Ian Kershaw at SCOFA but the numbers have grown over the kasy three months. Its good to see and hear from so many like-minded fans. Youre pages certainly look good so far.

Regards

Dave

I have been doing this for years now and I meet new Shadows friends all the time..........A GREAT hobby!! I saw you needed some credits for the following tunes:

London Kid        (Jean-Michel Jarre)
The Shady Lady    (Welch/Marvin/Bennett)
Janine            (Peter Downes)

Do keep up the good work.............All the best,Jan A.Flatby.

John,
Greetings from Worcestershire.
If Jahine should read Wahine then that is credited to Hank.
Re surfacer/ Dont know who wrote it but have a tape of the track going back as early as 59 on Radio Luxembourg, so at least that dates it.
Wish they would stop re- releasing their re- releases.

Interesting to discover your work thru the SCOFA page. I am enjoying the Shadow's UK page presently. Finally got tired of getting duplicate tracks on CD and Hank's recent stuff doesn't inspire. My son's developing a Brian Bennett touch with his drumsticks on margerine containers. Always wonder if any of the tracks I don't have are any good. So frustrating.
Best Wishes

Subject: Shadows and SCOFA - access database & my Idealist database

Hi John!

I saw your guestbook entry at SCOFA's web-site. I'm interested in your Access database file - I too have MS Office 4.3, including Access, but I have made my own database in Blackwell Idealist (published free on a mag cover-CD late '94).
I'd be glad to swap a copy of the application and my files on:

• Shadows tracks
• Shadows releases in my collection
• Shadows members tracks and
• - Cliff/Shads tracks (but none that don't feature at least one Shad member or
• former member).
