After another wonderful and sad year on our little blue ball, I ask myself, “is this the best we can do?”

I am anything but “Comfortably Numb”, but, I love this music!

That’s me playing the low organ note off the top for Liza Minnelli.
We rehearsed it! I’m the guy in red playing the B3.

It’s Easter 1992 at Wembley

30 years later (1984), and I’m still in awe!
Lisa Dalbello was a huge influence on my life!
And an ultra-awesome musician, poet and philosopher.
And what a cool song!
There was an earlier and more standard version of it, recorded at ESP with the Gary O band…Dee, Frank, Ken, JJ…

But the final version is rockin’ too! With LDB and Mick Ronson and John Forbes! AWESOME!
