Yes, yes, but that's putting the cart before the horse, in a sense. Christine's piano & John's bass are inextricably entwined, mirrors of each other, all of a complementary piece. You can't have one without the other in these circumstances any more than you can have phosphate without the egg! If you take away the phosphate, you don't have a phosphate, & if you take away the egg, you don't have a phosphate! Where is your quintessence? John & Chris put the meta in metaphysics!
