Mr Lawyer: Have you ever thought of taking up acting as a profession - or maybe as a hobby!

Catz (Mon Oct 28 20:58:55 1996 IST):

Tell me Gary - is music all you do. Or are you interested in any other art form?

Catz (Mon Oct 28 21:00:25 1996 IST):

Heard your latest album - it's excellent! It's a pleasure to listen to some home-grown Western pop.

Trishna (Mon Oct 28 21:00:41 1996 IST):

How would you define fusion, Mr Lawyer?

madrigal (Mon Oct 28 21:01:42 1996 IST):

Hiya Gary! Can you please tell us how the Western music scene in India started?

Gary Lawyer (Mon Oct 28 21:02:13 1996 IST):

Stella:I take my new album almost as an acid test to the future of western music in India. The kind of music that's been pushed on the airwaves is very Hindi-pop and this album thats out in the market at this point has arrived after a long gap so it remains to be seen what kind of reaction it gets in terms of sales especially since it has on its release recieved rave reviews I'm especially curious to see how far ir goes since a lot of labour and time has gone into it on the part of my producer and the brilliant musicians that have brought this album to life .

madrigal (Mon Oct 28 21:02:25 1996 IST):

I hear Jacko boy is comin' to your town...how's the reception there? Will you be there to meet him? Has any thing been worked out to meet with the local musicians
