to be or not to be an individual
"I think there's a dangerthat musical aspirations
might get trapped in a bubble of mass media acceptance. It's the desire to be on
TV over the fact that you want to say something and
be an individual. I think if it's accepted that it's
just a popular TV show ['The
X Factor' in England and 'American
Idol' in America] that's fine. I'd like to think that there are young
musicians growing up and evolving all over the world, that they're not
influenced by it and are just going to do their thing."
From Ray Davies webpage: 23rd Nov '10 - Ray
Davies' North American tour cancelled.
Ray did not personally cancel the American dates but was
ordered by his doctors not to fly or embark on the accompanying ground travel
for the forthcoming four US dates until his medical condition has stabilized to
their satisfaction. The doctors could not provide a time frame for this and
advised Ray to cancel the dates.
Ray would like to thank all his fans for their continued
support and asks that everyone respect his privacy so he can concentrate on a
swift recovery.

MariannSp's BLOGG reports from
the Kinks Tribute Night at the Sunset Tavern, Seattle 30/7-2010. It started with:
"The Quaifes brought VGPS to life again for the smiling fans at the Sunset, who
nodded and and sang along with them." and a lot of bands follows up! - the
report and 16 videoes from the Kinks Tribute Night on the link.
Because so many
people were unable to make the trip to Denmark for Pete's funeral, Mick and
myself have spoken and decided to put on a memorial night for Pete in
Muswell Hill were the Kinks first formed.
We are currently talking
with others and looking into venues and will hopefully announce
information soon
Here is a summery of
a e-mail from Petes brother David: from David Quaife - Petes donations:
I have received many
emails and telephone calls by very kind people wishing to donate to Pete’s
memorial donations.
The donations will be used
firstly for Pete’s funeral costs, wake and gravestone.
We are expecting a considerable
amount of mourners.
As Pete’s partner Elisabeth
will be excluded from any inheritance (not married) I think it also
appropriate to donate an amount to lessen her burdens she will undergo from
losing Pete - her sweetheart and loved one for many years.
Elisabeth has supported Pete
through many a difficult times, not the least the special care and love she gave
Pete with his regular dialysis sessions 3 times a week, and the loving, nursing
care during the last days of dear Pete’s life.
The monies over will be donated
to an applicable, registered Dialysis research fund.
Yours Aye,
David Quaife
Euro
Danish Kroners
US Dollars
UK Pounds
Japenese Yen
The donations will be paid
direct into PayPal and then transferred to:-

Ray Davies pays tribute to late Kinks bassist Pete Quaife at Glastonbury
Songwriting legend is also joined by a choir on the Pyramid
Stage
The Kinks' frontman
Ray Daviespaid tribute to the band's recently deceased
bassist Pete Quaife during his
Glastonburyset on the Pyramid Stage
today (June 27).
The veteran star dedicated
The Kinks' classic 'See My Friends' to
his old bandmate, and later played two tracks from what Quaife
claimed was his favourite Kinks album, 1968's 'The
Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society'.
Speaking
about his old friend, who died of kidney failure last week (June 23) aged 66,
Davies told the crowd, "I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for him."

Lloyd and Rob visited Kinks London and one of the many places
we visited was Pete's home in Muswell Hill and the school he, Ray and Dave
attended. This is an excerpt from Two For The Road.
On Thursday I was very busy, taking care of my family and
finishing a recording session, when I saw very briefly that Pete Quaife of the
Kinks had died. I didn't have time to process it until I was performing at my
regular Thursday night sunset show in Hawaii Kai. I sang a couple of songs in
his honor, and managed to capture it with a Flip that was in my music bag.
Ray Davies is 66
