Thread Name: Peter Bellamy - died 24 Sept 1991
Subject: RE: Peter Bellamy 18 yrs today since he died
Lisa - a beautiful post from a beautiful lady. Thank you so much for sharing your memory of Peter with us. It helps him to live on.

I so wish he had been better grounded to face the tide-going-out (as it always does) of the performing market. I remember what another beautiful lady, Joan Baez, said of this (metaphorically addressing a spoiled young pop star who has indeed faded from sight): Trips to the grocery store will not be easy at first. It's as inevitable as the turning of the world.

It's heartbreaking that Peter didn't find, or couldn't see, enough of an island to remain standing on.
