It seems that every time I mention the B word, something terrible happens to WLD. If I say it's only going to be a very little session, maybe something merely dismaying will happen, but I'll keep quiet nonetheless.

jacqui has got it about right- I remember one awful night when some promoter had decided to do a crossover night- avant-garde jazz and Nic Jones (that's how long ago it was). The jazz lot weren't interested and kept on yammering right through his two sets. He wasn't at all happy, but his playing and singing never faltered a bit, and we who were listening crowded close so we could hear. That contrasted with the reverential silence for the obligatory 25 minute drum solo in the jazz bit.
