This has reminded me of an appearance by Wakeman on a (comedy) quizshow
on British TV - he was provided with about 10 or 12 stylophoneson stands
in an arc
around him (a la his grandiose stage set up) and asked to perform.

This also made my day.

I think the show was about innovations (mainly from the 60s and70s) that have
passed into kitsch classics or have been entirely forgotten - maybesomeone on
the list remembers the show and can elucidate?
