   I think Christie is the best group in the world!
   My favourite Christie song is Magic Highway so I have some questions for Vic Elmes about it.
   Dear Vic, I admire your beautiful talent!
   What is Magic Highway about? How was it written? Which chords did you use in it?

Vic answers:
   The basic premise of Magic Highway is that power means nothing. All along the trip through history and time, we see all the powerful men, leaders and kings, etc, with all their fame and wealth, and they all ended up the same way: dead. Nothing could help them.
   In the 70s, Dave Cash was one of the top DJs in the UK with a daily radio show (BBC Radio 1) and a TV show (on which Christie were prolific guests). He was such a big fan of Magic Highway that he used to play the song almost every day on his radio show. He even stated on air that this song would be the best track Christie ever recorded. That surprised and flattered me because Magic Highway was out of character with most of the other Christie songs.
   The guitar arrangement is a little bit too complicated to explain without showing it. So Audrey, I just have to show you personally the next time you are shopping in London. ;)

   Dear Vic, I live in Malaysia and would like to buy your latest Christie CD. But I cannot use money orders or order by mail because they often get lost from here, or it is too difficult for the banks.
   Can I buy the CD from the shop? Can you give me the catalogue number so I can ask my retailer to order it?
   If not, can I use a service like Paypal or something?
   By the way, why did you not ask Jeff Christie and Paul Fenton to play on this CD? That would make it a real Christie CD. You are the only original member on this new album and it just doesn't feel right.

Vic answers:
   You are the first fan from Malaysia to show interest in the new Christie CD and we'll like to send you a copy for free. Please let Ray have your address.
   It would not be a problem to work with Paul Fenton again because for me he is the best drummer in the world and we were always good friends together. Unfortunately, at this stage, it is not possible for me to work with Jeff Christie. Of course, it would be nice for the original members to be together but unfortunately we cannot live in the past. We can only go for the future. Hopefully you will like our new CD. Anyway, Paul and Jeff are playing on one of the songs (Jo Jo's Band) that was a hit for us in South America in 1972.
   With best wishes, Vic.

   Dear Vic, I remember seeing you play the fantastic guitar on stage. Is it easy? How long do you have to practice? Everybody has a group that they grew up with, and for me it was Christie. It is good to know that the group is still playing today, maybe they can come to Spain. I live in the country but would go to the big city to see the concert.
   Do you live in Germany? What have you been doing in the past few years when you are not playing? Can I get an autograph picture of you? So many questions.

Vic answers:
   Your first question: I can't remember, it's so long ago ;) YES, it takes a long time until you feel confortable with your standard of playing. I did live in Germany for 10 years and now I'm living in England. In the past few years I've been working especially with the Garrelt Danker Medienproduktion (Garrelt Danker is also my manager), eg the soundtrack of High Looking High and my latest album Christie Again — Greatest Hits and More. Of course you can have an autograph.

   Vic, you are such a great guitar player that you would make a great session musician. Have you taken part in session recordings and if so, for who?

Vic answers:
   I did a couple of sessions, eg film music for At the Earth's Core (featuring Peter Cushing, Doug McLure ..), Space 1999 (composing as well), Gary Glam Band, the movie High Looking High (title song), also the movie The Ups and Downs of a Handyman (composing as well).

   I'm a Space:1999 fan, and I've just been given this address from another fan talking about Vic's contribution on the main title theme song. I must say that for all those years, more than 25 now, the guitar riff on the title has been one of my favorite sounds. I was fascinated by it. I thought (I was young) that it was the result of incredibly deep research in a high tech lab, and that Vic Elmes was the name of an engineer. I never realised you were hairy and flowery :-) ! But never too late to learn. Thank you anyway for that good job.
   I'm also happy to wander in this site. So many of those songs are classics. To find them is like to play with souvenirs, a photo album. I'll go and check it again from time to time.

Vic answers:
   Dear Otis, I thank you for your humorous opinion (... hairy and flowery... ;)). People like yourself keep the history alive. We (Christie) went to Belgium in the summer of 1970 and I have very nice memories of the short time we spent there. Please continue to support us and the 70s music. With very best regards and good luck to you in the future.

   Hey Vic, did you ever have any kids? And are they following in your footsteps (playing guitar)?

Vic answers:
   Yes, perhaps in my last life but not this one. But I'm still young ;) Thank you for your ongoing interest. Best regards, Vic.
