	I'm not sure they weren't, at points; some of the breaks seemed, 
if not actually spontaneous, at least unrehearsed, and Tim and Dave 
seemed to be teasing each other for getting away with thinsg here and 
there. I got the same feeling you got, and I think that was partly Tim 
being limited to a live instrument and doing his rock god bit, partly 
Dibs (gotta say) adding flourishes here and there and partly Dave 
actually playing lead at a point or two. I'll happily see this band play 
some more, style of thing. Yours,
				  Jon
