Tony rapped all night

As rumoured on these pages ( 08/01/02 SNIPPET: KRISTEEN YOUNG AND THE LOW BOYS @ CBGB), Tony Visconti did indeed hold an informal ‘Meet and Greet’ after the Kristeen Young show at CBGB’s on Thursday night.

He sat among the BowieNet members and answered a barrage of questions, spending far and above the amount of time expected of him, and staying very late. Questions ranged from his work with David and other artists, down to minor details like travelling arrangements for the band. He even talked about being in the studio with David on that terrible day last September 11th. He was thrilled that ‘Heathen’ has done so well and was happy to discuss many details about the recording of the album. Here’s a shot of Tony talking to Pattibowie, aka Patti Brett, one of the original Sigma Kids.

After a blistering set, Kristeen also chatted to many of our members, talking about the work she did with David for ‘Heathen’. As we posted at the time, (05/21/01 NEWS: BOWIE LENDS SUPPORT TO YOUNG) you will recall that David saw Kristeen at CBGB’s last year.
