Subject: what the


	This question has been bugging me since I came up with it last
night at bout 1.30 am.  We all know who Bill Nelson is, right?  Well,
I knew his name before I knew his work because he fronted a band in
the 70s with two other guys.  Shit, I even had a couple of their
albums.  The question is...WHAT WAS THE BAND'S NAME???  I remember
bits and pieces about their stuff, like the word "Cocteau" appearing a
lot, and a double live album with the word "Air" in it somewhere; it
had some sort of plastic robot on the cover.

	Fill me in, please.

	thanks

	ps got "On a Blue Wing" a couple days ago.  Sounds good, a lot like
	Bryan Ferry, but a little more musically sound.  Interesting insertions
	of marimba here and there give it an interesting flavour.  A little
	more poppish than I'd like overall, but the outstanding musicianship
	makes it more than listenable.

[Doug says group in question is Bebop Deluxe.
