Akkerman dull? That's too bad. I cant imagine.

Tedious jazz noodling for much of the set.

I would have loved to see
him at any point in his career! He was a big influence of mine but
rarely did he come to the states. Thijs played your tron? How cool is
that!!

All a bit odd - he was going to borrow Duncan's (not sure how the deal was
arranged), who pulled out and asked me if I'd step in! Did, but as I said,
was barely worth it, and got some new scratches on the lid for my trouble.

Any one else?

Um, the reformed England, the Flower Kings, r.m.i. (they used two that
night) and above all, \ufffdnglag\ufffdrd (in Belgium). My bloody nephew's just
written a website (pretty good for an 11 year-old) about something I don't
understand 'cos I'm too old, in which he takes the piss out of me on a page
entitled 'Mellotrons', including a comment about taking it abroad. Yes, I
did. And the problem is?  :-)

p.s. Said nephew is going to get his arse kicked the next time I see him.
