Yes !! It"s all a question of definition. As I said on another thread,quite a few performers are "eccentric" rather than "nutters ". Examples ,for me, would be the delightfully potty "Hard Core Fluff,"the refreshingly bizarre "Apicella" from Portsmouth,and my friend from Godalming,in Surrey, Kevin,musician & painter,who makes bagpipes out of plumbing fittings & stuffed cats !

I used to play with Apicella and came up with the name - no imagination there though: it's Sue's surname. They are now known as Jellyrollers, playing mainly blues I believe, and Little Peet the Jew's Harp player has joined them. Now he is odd!
