***ALAN KENDALL***

What can I say about Alan? Well, he is still a mystery to us all. Maybe that is what makes
him so appealing. I think he values his privacy, and he has every right to do so. After all,
how many of us would want all of our lives paraded before the world for all to see? I do
know a few facts that I found in the One Night Only Tour Book, from the BEE GEES
AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, and from Julie's IMMORTALITY site.

FULL NAME...Alan (?) Kendall
BIRTHPLACE...Darwen, England
BIRTHDATE...September 9, 1944
(Hey, he's just 5 months younger than me!)

Alan joined the Bee Gees in 1970. Before that he was a member of the English group 'Toefat'.
He has a quick smile that lights up his face...and he looks like my husband! WOW!
As to whether he is married...well, I don't know. But the rumor is that he is definately taken.

Just as my impression of Alan, after watching him perform, he appears to be a happy guy
who has a fun loving quality about him. One story from the Authorized Biography tells of a
concert the Bee Gees were performing in Japan. It seems that Barry, Linda, and Dennis Bryon
decided to play a prank on Robin by massaging flour into the towel that Robin used to wipe his
face. They also made "flour bombs" from paper towels, rice (for weight), and flour. All neatly
secured with rubber bands. They made hundreds of them, and when Alan found this out, of
course he had to make some too. Well, when Robin opened his towel that night, flour went all
over him. You know how Robin always wears black, so he must have been a site! Everyone
on stage was hysterical with laughter, and the Japanese audience had no idea what was going on.
Then Robin saw himself covered with flour and blamed the opening act, thinking that they were
retaliating for an earlier prank played on them during their performance by some of the Bee
Gees group. Well, Robin ran off stage chasing the other band. In the mean time, Alan began
his bombing attack. Barry was trying to sing 'Words' and Alan and Dennis were bombing away.
Robin refused to return to the stage until the flour bomb attack was over. Can you blame him?!?
I am sure that there have been many other fun times that the Bee Gees and the band members
have shared over the years, and I'd bet that Alan was there for most of them.
And they call themselves 'grown men'!

To Alan, I would like to say thank you for sharing your talent with all of YOUR fans.
It's okay to remain a Mystery Man. We all love you just the same.
Continued success in all you do.
THANKS ALAN...LOVE YA!
