Thanks for taking the trouble, calum.

Anyone else agree with me that surely The Necks has to be the most overrrated group of the past decade?

The Necks? Well I waited about half an hour for the piano introduction to finish, and the real music to start, but eventually concluded that was all I was going to get.

Re. discussion about Christine Tobin. Monica Zettlund singing Debbie's Waltz on Wednesday's COTW - a really beautiful singer, owing very little to US singers.

Doing a calum, there is a very interesting series of discussions between Wayne Shorter and Joe Lavano published recently on YouTube. Potential -music that hasn't been heard yet (because he ain't played it!):

But where is Wayne going now - tough to keep up with him!
