I wouldn't be so sure of that.  It wouldn't surprise me one whit if
Albert actually does exactly what you are suggsting one day.
Consider the tune 'Overture.'  Am I thinking of the right tune?  It's
on BoH?  They did this tune Friday night that was an overture
composed of parts from all the Imaginos songs.  Pretty amazing tune,
BTW.  This tune sounds like a step in that direction.  Clearly Al has
no shortage of inspiration for material these days.  Now, getting
Pearlman to work on the project again looks like a bit of a
problem...

Complete it?  No.  But contribute to it, of course.  And since it is
an open-ended piece [as I see it, any comments?] why can't we make a
valid contribution to it?

I'm certainly up to taking a stab at the music, though I'd be less
than comfortable in trying to come up with lyrics...
