Way back before MTV, WPIX channel 11 in NYC would air a music video show every Saturday night for an hour. The videos would never go with the music, they were just, well.....videos playing over the music. "Question" would always have a train video which was really wild! uhh....karaoke huh? The best and funniest karaoke I ever saw was this big 300 pound biker with chains getting up and singing "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield. The place roared! Poly

I don't carry grudges, but it was pretty recently that you called those key changes in Back 2 Back's "Feelin' Allright" room-clearing, and at that point, I knew we are not the same person. (Those changes send chills up and down my spine.) Also, your tune made me feel sad and lonely and that bugged me, because I have to take my dear old cat to be put down today. Had her for 18 years.

Yea, it's not a bad simulation especially for free! It was mixed in with a standard Prophet-5 patch similar to what Tony Banks used to use. Poly

I saw Genesis play this song live in 1972 and 1973. Tony Banks' entire armoury consisted of: Hammond Organ Hohner Pianet Mellotron No synths. Certainly no Prophet - these didn't exist yet.
