I had broken my hand in a motorcycle accident and was depressed about missing out on a summer of playing and would I ever get it back. Phil held out his hands showing me a row of crooked knuckles and pointed out that he had broken a lot of bones playing rugby in school. Seeing that it hadn't slowed him down a wit I felt better.

Love this, love the combo of instruments, and of course these guys are incredible musicians.

Maybe musicians would slow down if not for audiences seeming to get such a thrill out of speed.

Maybe I'm getting old (I am) but I enjoy music played at a more moderate speed!
