Hi i´m Befrost and the administrator of this forum. I have been a HTM fan since 1995 when i heard Service With A Smile..hooked right away..what a great tune right. I wanna say cheers and welcome to all of you members of this forum and to all of you who make it such a great place to be! Keep posting and spread the HTM word! ;D

Heres alittle forum history in reprise:
The idea of creating a Happy The Man forum was born back in 1999
when I stumbled on an interview with Frank Wyatt telling that the
band was about to reform and to compose new material for a new album.
Surprised, happy and with a lot of enthusiasm I created a Yahoo group
called "The Happy The Man discussionboard" that later on moved to a new
location and changed to the name Happy The Fans Online.
Still "online" and hopefully an enjoyable place for all Happy The Man fans
around the world. Long live Happy The Man.

Nope. Never went to Sweden on a boat. I did FLY to Sweden though (August 1997) and on that plane they offered only some strange sandwiches and coffee! ;D

Happy Birthday!!

Speaking of Sweden, I just got a dvd-r from Roxy Music which was recorded in Stockholm, 1976 in the Koncert House. Does that one still excist? I think it was a tv-show, which you see nowadays turn up on internet a lot. The show was so-so. I'm a big Eddie Jobson-fan and I think Viva! Roxy Music is great, but January '76 you could tell the band was falling apart, playing not only songs from Roxy, but also solo-stuff from Brian Ferry, Andrew Mackay and Phil Manzanera. The best song was Out Of The Blue with a great violin-solo from Eddie (who has his own site by the way: www.eddiejobson.com )

Those dvd-r's and such is truly one great thing about the internet. There are so many great concerts around, but (sad for us) not a HTM show. If you're a fan of Zappa's music I do recommend you to get the swedish outdoor concert Zappa in Skansen from1973. The show was filmed by the Swedish television. What a performence these guys did. Mostly intrumental tunes including awesome solos/improvisations and it was cold that day which Frank Zappa comments; My god it's so f***ng cold up here! The band did an ending of a tune that Zappa did'nt like so he forced them to play that part once again. Was'nt that typical for Zappa ;D
Yeah the Koncert house is still there. I've seen Jethro Tull's Under Wraps concert and also a Pat Metheny concert in that house. Pretty well sounding acoustics.
