I once went to a Bruce Hornsby gig where he played requests all night, which I thought was nice, and someone asked him to do a John Lennon number (I can't remember which one now ) and he and The Range made a really good job of it, even though they'd never played it before .... or so he said. There's a lot to be said for musicians who can actually play, and know music well enough to be able to wing it successfully, not like these dog damn kids these days with their sequencers and drum machines and arpegiated keyboards ............... oooops, sorry, got on the old soap box there for a mo. Sorry, sorry sorry. Wish I could read music, then I'd know what it is I'm playing. It's never too late to learn, perhaps I should start TODAY.

The mind boggles. [Aside: "Nurse, quickly, the screens if you please."] Why didn't you say so sooner. We could have used this in the Bun Fu Sessions at the FES, (before they got wiped out ::sob, sob::). It'd have fitted in nicely as a backdrop to the sleazy bits. But the moment's gone now. Say "Lavvie."

But then, perhaps the Flat Earth Tour was a delusion in the first place...

You always kinda intimidated me to tell you the truth. Somehow the FES crowd seems like a different breed and I had some doubt I'd be accepted there as well as I have been by the Alloy folk (but I'm sure I'm just deluding myself - the lack of someone saying, "Oh shut up already" isn't exactly acceptance!). Do other people feel this way? And I'm really grateful that no one was offended by my comment because on the way home I was thinking about Neon Sisters being such a serious and touching song that I shouldn't have been so flip about using it as a nickname for something so frivolous.
