  I saw him a few times live, and met him in a record shop and chatted about his obscure shit, like Delphi (three strings per key piano bith for the Scientologists) you know, to show him I … (more)was a real geek, because I thought that would make me somehow seem less insignificant.
  
  He was unerringly nice and more importantly, was an absolute mother on keys.  My favourite set is the Akoustic Band live at The Blue Note, Tokyo.  It's where Vinnie Colaiuta deps for Dave Weckl.  Vinnie is channelling the ghoast of Tony Williams and it's, uh... Electric.  You can find some of the set on YouTube.  Vinnie sneaking a cigarette at the kit.  
  
  There's also one with him and Hiromi and the late youth Austin Peralta knocking six shades out of "Someday My Prince Will Come" in Tokyo too.  If you know, you know.
  
  Rest in power.  Gutted.

  Jodrell Bank is the world's biggest steerable radio telescope.
  
  Imagine the sound from a kick drum of this magnitude.

  It reminds me of a late-night food episode in Manchester.
  
  I think my friends had just played a Leon Ware gig and we went looking for food around 3:30AM in the city centre.  There was a … (more)great kebab place open but to distract the flow of drunken townsfolk from ill behaviour, the owners had TV screens behind the counter as a distraction - showing, on whatever spacecake Uzbekistani satellite channel, INSANITY WORKOUT video ads, of all things. 
  
  Every fucker in the workout grinning away like they were on PCP, demonstrating  frankly disturbing endurance whilst performing exercises Rocky would baulk at.  (shortly before cutting their own faces off and feeding it to their dogs, I imagine).  NO PLACE FOR STOOGES OLD MAN!
  
  I mean, on the one hand, I really, really wanted a kebab, but on the other hand, I dunno now, maybe I do need a stomach like a French Boule set?  Not the best sales tactic for a kebab shop.
  
  Speaking of Balboa, I always thought Valentino Balboni had the best job in the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentino_Balboni )
