When Sparks came out a few months ago, I got hold of his agent and said that I would be happy to review it, and do another interview. The only issue we had was at the time Al was touring in Germany.No problem, just give me his hotel number. The interview went great, and I always enjoy talking to Al. Two weeks later we received the AT&T phone bill, that 30 minute call to Germany cost $90. I thought my wife was going to kill me :) So, Jan (my wife) now calls him $90 Al :) Ah, a bite :)

I'm an old friend of Al Stewart's, and I'll be visiting with him for his 64th birthday in a few weeks. Please let me know ... ! Many thanks. “$90 Al”?
