I can verify from experience that it *is* possible to play bass, sing, and
use a foot-pedal to make "swoosh" all simultaneously.  But it's not easy!
Takes quite a bit of preparation.  And it is definitely more limiting than
having both hands free and *not* having to concentrate on singing ...

>And I like Harvey's swoosh lots too.

Me, too!  (Although he's not quite as much a master-of-swoosh as Del
Dettmar, Tim Blake, or even Dave Brock [check out the part of the
"Watchfield Festival" jam on the Acid Daze/Anthology collection where he
puts down his guitar and plays synth, or, as Colm recently mentioned, the
Charisma era albums where I'm pretty certain that the synth-noise-swoosh
parts are mostly by Dave, while the melodic keyboard parts are by Simon].)
