I really reassured to hear from people who've seen him Surya Gayatri Sep 2012 #38

Like some guitars and violins (and maybe flutes)... DollarBillHines Sep 2012 #52

Oh yes MuseRider Sep 2012 #61

Well he is 71... Sekhmets Daughter Sep 2012 #3

well, he's growing old and probably rarely up at the time this show demands you get up. spanone Sep 2012 #6

Good point--like many musicians, he's probably not a morning person. Surya Gayatri Sep 2012 #8
