Kudos to Kyle......for really shaping up VC real nice. new,but familliar. -Robert

You could be describing Jay Bennett hear as well. Kot's book describes Jay's approach to piano the frst time as mathematical.......fascinating ..... -robert

I'd love a complete DVD of that show......Jay probably figured the hammer was coming down......and to Jeff's credit, the music came first that night..... -Robert
