"There will be no hands-on drumming" When he says retired, he means retired... |

Which is a great change of pace, btw. Most of the guys in the music industry claim to retire only my boost album sales for a wile and then come back full force. Another reason to admire the guy.  -------------

I saw him at a local jazz club back in January, when he done his talk and book singing. It's worth going if it's happening anywhere near you. Very interesting talk about his career, and a chance the meet the man and ask him all those nerdy prog fan questions, you've been saving up for such an occassion. I certainly did.. 
Very nice chap. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Or he simply means he won't be playing bongos or other hand percussion.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">
