    Gentle Giant news??

    Just saw a Facebook update from Anne Leighton (the publicist who handles the GG reissues as well as Ian Anderson's album/tour). What she posted was a photo of Derek Shulman playing guitar (he looks kinda like Clapton nowadays) and the caption is "Derek Shulman rehearsing some Gentle Giant tunes on Neal Schon's guitar". So the big question is...Rehearsing Gentle Giant tunes?? So far Anne L. ain't talkin', but who knows?

    No word on whether this has to do witrh the unveiling of a lost album on a desert island...

    Update: She just denied that any touring plans are afoot. But hell, at least he is remembering how the songs go.

    It's all part of a publicity stunt setup by Geoff Downes to get Yuppets to an island. He's then going to blow them all up with a big bomb.

    Isn't Gentle Giant News kind of like Francisco Franco News? Yep, still dead. And the only people who would get that are old enough to have seen Gentle Giant.

    I guess we'll have to say it "news for the hard of hearing" style a la Garrett Morris: "GENTLE GIANT IS STILL DEAD!!!!!"

    Maybe he's just screwing around. Just because he picks up a guitar and plays a bit of GG does not mean he's prepping for anything.
