    There's a great point in The Music Lesson - what's 0? (zero) it's nothing... it's the most powerful number though.. which is bigger: 1 or 100000000?

    Also I'm reminded of Miles Davis and John Coltrane:

    "John, you need to shorten your solos they carry on too, long, they're great and I love them but we need to play more songs"
    "uh okay, I don't know how to end the solos"
    "take the fucking sax outta your mouth!"

    I don't remember gigging with you but maybe I must have done

    Last two bands I've been to see - if the keyboard player doesn't have stuff to play they're updating twitter on the ipad mounted on their keyboard

    I seem to remember Rick Wakeman saying he used to get the roadies to get him a curry and eat it behind the keyboard during the 20 minute drum solos.
