Thanks for the warning !
That one will keep me going all day - priceless.:hahaha:
BTW - not sure if I mentioned I was meeting Gilad Atzmon on a thread somewhere or a private pm - anyway. Watched him perform in Buxton last night - great evening - and had a 5 minute chat in the break too.
He's one laid-back guy. Told me he'd done an interview earlier in the day which might 'get him into trouble' - apparently he was scathing about the Chilcott Inquiry and Miliband and a few others. Haven't seen any flack yet.
He actually mentioned all of those things + Blair Bush and a few Israelis (Sharon, Netanyahu) in his performance banter too - and invited other names from the audience. I suggested Tzipi Livni. He agreed and volunteered that she is actually his cousin!
He introduced his encore piece as being by that 'well-know Palestinian' - wait for it - Louis Armstrong. With some choice banter about how the world might be if it were not for you-know-who. The encore piece? - 'Wonderful World' in an arrangement like you've never heard before.
His blog is always worth a look
