I don't know which "yea -a-a" you mean, but Lindsey does one and during the Dance tour, when they were all standing on the apron of the stage, Christine would always point her tamborine at him to do it.

Thinking of Lindsey's screaming, when he does that (like on a Zevon song) I always recognize that, even if I don't recognize his singing voice. I didn't agree with them, but I know some people who complained about the way Lindsey would yell "lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice" during the SYW tour and I joked that's probably what made Stevie decide to drop Gypsy, because he kept scaring her every night with the lightning.

At any rate, when Stevie was working with the voice teacher before an SYW show, I think Lindsey was off . . . picking out his wardrobe.

It upset me that he got Conan, but not Letterman or Leno for the UTS promotion.

Bill, I think Richard has been working on Hawaiian music most recently.

Earlier people had mentioned Ken and I think Ken, Keith, Richard, etc. are all great, but as far as the idea that Ken has some contemporary creds goes, Ken didn't actually produce Colbie's record. He did consult with her on it and she always had him as a sounding board, so if her producers were going astray, I'm sure he helped her keep everything on the right path.
