    Met Alan a few times when he was on tour in the late 90s. Very polite guy, generous with his time w/ fans. Just a CLASS guy. Same goes for Ian Bairnson & Stuart Elliot who were with him.

    In 1982 I was a 21yr old working in Saudi Arabia, I brought Eye in the Sky album when I was there, I would often wonder through the desert with my Sony Walkman listening to eye in the sky album. I'm now sixty years old and wise, and have enjoyed a life time of the Alan Parsons project music, wonderfully adored, thanks for it all AP.

    3 days ago I saw Alan Parsons Project in Denver, Colorado. It was a fantastic evening listening to his music live. We bought his new music collection as a signed box set of a CD, DVD, AND Record Album. Looking forward to listening to the new songs.
    Thank you for a very good night of seeing you live with my husband, daughter, and granddaughter. Your music is enjoyed by new generations. I hope you continue to heal from your back surgery.

    Many many years ago, I am assuming from this that AP doesn't live in England anymore, he used to come with his wife to the restaurant that I was head chef in. I never knew at the time just how famous he was, but he always made time for a couple of chef fans who sat down with him and talked music. A chef, but also a published songwriter myself (I thought wrongly of the world of money pouring from the sky), he kindly invited me to his house and studio in Kent/Sussex where as he said I gave 'a little push' to songs I had written. He didn't bite!!! How I would love the opportunity to sit down again with him and say 'Hey G'vnor I've got this song, what do you think?' The great thing about Alan Parsons is that he loves hits and he can hear one at one hundred yards. Then it's just a question of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together in the right order.

    o legal de se escutar as musicas do alan parsons, é que da para se escutar os baixos as guitarras e e a bateria forte, tudo numa sincronia, quando essas musicas forem mixadas num dolby atmos, vamos conseguir ouvir as musicas com muito mais prazer, encher a alma de paz, espero que não demore muito

On his cheeks it's clearly grey, but apart from that.... Wow. I'm turning 40 next year, so almost half the age of Alan and I'm already starting to turn grey as ****, haha. Guess it's his DNA. ;) Let's watch this video. I'm sure it's gonna be great. :)

    Alan can lead into the next question but hes not being permitted to, as these are too scripted. Shame, some passages fall flat and the interviewer seems disinterested in wht hes just been told! Someone like AP can just talk, explain something, then it can lead to an unscripted question.
