The piano player says to the vocalist "Let's do 'What's New', except we'll start it in F for the first 8 bars, then we'll modulate up to Eb for the next 6 bars, where we then go >into 3/4 time, and then modulate back to F, where we'll go into >6/4 for 3 1/2 bars, modulate to E, and when we get to the second verse, for the last two lines, sing the first two lines of the first verse instead, and then we'll go into 5/4 and change key randomly every other bar to the end." The vocalist goes "Geez, that sounds way to hard and complicated. I can't do that." The pianist says "Why not? You did it last night." Just a joke : the pianist was Rick Wakeman and the singer Jon Anderson, this is a true story from the "Tormato" tour.... And they included the performance on "Yesshows". Does this humor translate well for Steve Sullivan ? -- In France, where the food ain't too shabby....
