Okay, here are the results of the little quiz I put here a few weeks
ago.  I mis-typed one question due to the hour, so let me just
apologize to the 3 people who posted answers.  For the rest of you:

1.  The group that Bill Bruford and Eddie Jobson formed was
    UK.  UK was (at one time) voted the "most exciting band
    in concert" by readers of a few music magazines.  They
    produced 2 studio albums -- UK and Danger Money, and a 
    live album.  If you like the ASIA album, pick up these
    albums (expecially Danger Money) and see what you think.

2.  The bassist in the group was John Wetton.  John played
    with King Crimson and Uriah Heap before UK.

3.  The band the bassist went to (not back to, as I had
    asked) was ASIA.  The band Bill Bruford went back to
    (what I was thinking when I typed the question) was
    King Crimson.

4.  The name of the replacement drummer in UK is Terry Bozzio.
    His wife is Dale Bozzio (a former Playboy bunny) and their
    group is called Missing Persons.  Their "Spring Session M"
    album is better-than-average new wave/punk, but that may
    not be saying much according to some.

5.  Allan Holdsworth also appeared in Soft Machine and the
    band National Health.


Things I didn't mention:  Bill Bruford was also one of the
founding members of YES.  Bruford has at least one album
out that consists of rather interesting jazz.  It is titled
"Feels Good to Me."  Annette Peacock sings on the album for
2 cuts, which is either a reason to get the album or avoid it.
But don't avoid it, there are a couple great instrumentals.
BTW, Allan Holdsworth also plays on this album.

The first incarnation of UK was in 76 and consisted of Bruford,
Wetton and Rick Wakeman.  However, due to conflicting recording
contracts, the group never made it beyond a few demo tapes.
After The "Feels Good to Me" album, Bruford and Holdsworth
got Wetton and Eddie Jobson into the studio (late 77, early 78)
and put together the UK album.

Thus, Bill Bruford has played in or helped start:
Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, UK, National Health, and Brand X.
An impressive record.

Now for some questions:
1.   Anybody out there like Annette Peacock?  And is it me, or does
     she sound an lot like the vocalist for Curved Air?  
2.   Anybody every listen to any of Allan Holdsworth's solo
     albums?  Are they worth getting?
3.   There was some awful movie released a few years ago and now
     on cable entitled something like "Lunch Wagon" or something
     like that, which featured a few Playboy centerfolds as the
     main characters (I didn't use the word "actresses" for a
     reason -- bad cinema!).  Anyhow, there is a new-wave/punk
     band in the movie.  Is that the Bozzios or my imagination?

Non-prizes to: Rich Rosen (5of5), Mike Messina (3.5of5), and
Craig@hp-kirk (5of5) for their answers.
