Hats off to professionalism under less than professional conditions:


We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Fantastic combination of musicianship, good humor and showmanship!

 That's grace under a lot of pressure!


The ability to keep one's cool while things fall apart around you is indeed the mark of a pro - she's wonderful.

So many people I know - in pop or classical music - would have thrown a tantrum and walked off in a huff.

And no, before you ask, it had nothing to do with our radio transmission being switched off.

Where's Victor Borge when you need him...?

I've used the expression, "Fat chance, no chance, Bob Hope and no hope, and at least one of those is dead" when it comes to such matters...

Ah yes, and Victor's dead too... hmm so's most of this lot... :o

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Thanks, that was great and inspirational.

Closest I’ve come to that was finishing a set with a broken D string. Pulled it off and laughed through most of it.
