Dear all,

The BBC is going to show a programme with these words from the US president:

"I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan'.

"And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...' And I did.

"And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God I'm gonna do it."

I find this disturbing.

Most people who hear voices in their head are locked up for their own and others' safety.

Back to the topic....

What settings did Tony Banks use on Watcher of the Skies?

Wasn't it contrabass piccolo and spoons? With the rare George "Shouter" McKnee solo vocal tape holding down the bottom end?

BTW, #1145 held up beautifully onstage last night, including during the 'wild pitchbend' ending to one of our 'numbers'.
