Hi Steve,

I second that. The energy in his show is absolutely amazing. Jill & I saw 
him in Manchester's Broadwater Hall in 2004. For nearly two hours his band 
( 2 drummers, 2 guitarists, 2 electric bassists, Hammond B3, two tenors and 
a trumpet/straw boss) accompanied the man himself on vocals, grand piano and 
gymnastics.

It's a salutary lesson to all. Keep the audience involved and happy!

Best

Louis

"Not specifically OKOM, but Little Richard's Act should have a lot of
influence on the way we musician's perform.

If you get the chance, see him."
