        I agree entirely. Harvey's keyboard sound is the keyboard sound
for Hawkwind in my head. I suppose Dave's synths have a role too but once
you've got Harvey and Keith K. in there (since he is also as so many
people are so rightly saying essential in the ideal world of HW) I find it
hard to see where. Huw also the ideal lead guitar as his style is so
different to Dave's. Simon would also be good of course but we can't have
everything. and I've seen bloody good HW gigs both with and without
him. Mind you the same could be said of everyone bar Dave and Richard.

        The place for Tim Blake in matters Hawk, as I've said many times,
is in a techno side-project with Dave and Richard :-) Yours,
                                                             Jon
