        I thought there was a short gap, maybe a month, when Alan just
replaced Harvey and then after that gap Harvey came back on synths? No
idea where I got that idea from though. I'd still rather they had him than
Tim coming back for the tour though. I love Tim's stuff but Keith can do
swoosh and twiddles quite well enough, Tim will just be bread and
bread; Harvey adds texture and depth. Keith can do that too of course but
Harvey wouldn't take up quite the same head-space and dammit I like
Harvey's playing (now he leaves the bass alone, anyway... ) Yours,
                                                                   Jon
