Achtung! Dream opportunity came knocking at my door

I'm in a bit of a stunned stupor at the moment. I'm really not sure how to respond, or if I can physically perform as would be required, but I was approached by a pair of my lifelong musical heroes and friends of many years to perform as the lead role in a band that is the most inspirational and formative of my life.

The thing is, the original band is based in Liverpool. Two of the four original members still live there, while the other two live in America. One of the "American" members is/was the frontman that sang, played keys and guitar. He has carried on the band name since the original break up in '86 with a long list of nobodies behind him. That continues to this day.

At first I thought you were talking about the Beatles, being from Liverpool and all, but some of them are dead. But when you said American member I now think you're talking about Monty Python. Were you asked to join Monty Python?

Is it Frankie Goes to Hollywood?

No, but Brian Nash (Frankie Guitarist) is a good friend of all of us, and could be the perfect support act with his brilliant solo stuff.

Ha! Will Sargeant would totally be down. Love that guy. But, Ian McCulloch would stab me through the eye with a letter opener.

I dunno, OGG.

It sounds like something you're really keen to go do. BUT. (Capitalized because I think it might be kind of a big one)

Perhaps some stability on the home front might be something worth persuing (rather than moving 7500 miles away for a time), what with your physical and mental issues of the last year or so and your homelife issues.

I only mention these because you have posted about them here in the past. If It's out of line, say so, and I'll edit the post.

Something along the lines of -

Pics of the Flock of Seagulls haircut or it didn't happen.!

I do wish you all the best, my internet friend.

The prospect of being away for several weeks doesn't excite me, but I have strong Liverpudlian roots along with the UK in general and feel very "at home" there. I think it would be ok.

Also, my wife literally just told me that if I say no, she'll divorce me. I think she's serious.

Best of luck whatever you decide. Just remember that feeling, when everything's working and everyone is on. That's hard to beat.
