IF any of you have ever heard of Kanye West (he is signed to Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z's company), Twista is a rapper on his first single, "Slow Jamz", Twista is a guest rapper on it. But besides that, I've never heard of him.

Hey Michelle and Toni, Thanks for the wonderful stories about Andy's European tour. I hope there are more tales to come from others as well. Toni, whenever you write your article/interview, could you please share an English translation of it with us on the list? I'd love to read it. I'm distressed to learn that Andy no longer wants to tour in the U.S., but I really don't blame him. It looks like there is more enthusiastic support for him in Europe and Australia then there is in America. However, I'm delighted to hear that Andy is finally planning on recording a live album. I was going to ask you guys to suggest it to him, but it looks like Andy's already on the ball with that. Thanks again for the great tour reports, and keep 'em coming!

During that time we talk withe the promoter Alfonso Cito who told me that the tour was optimus and that Andy was very happy and with good mod !!!.He told me that they are planing to tour Spain in Novembre and visist Barcelona, because that time was imposible because the date decided for the show in Barcelona concided with the Eric Clapton's concert. The shows in Islan Canarias were so great, with over booking in both shows and the Madrid show and Valencia too.The show iMadrid was 2 sets 44 minutes one set and the scond one of 55 minutes long.The Valencia show was in a very small place on for 150 people but, finally they come 250 people and some people attend the show out side!!!!.
