No what I said was that Stevie having slightly better piano skills than Christine would end the show with Schuberts Piano Quartet in E flat major OP47 Sostenuto Assai Allegretto Non Troppo....

get it right David...

Christine's offbeat tambo playing on SYLM really brought the show down.

I know you're ribbing (what?! you & I ribbing?!), but Christine's tambourine work is sort of off the beat. It reminds me of her off-the-beat tambourine playing on HYPNOTIZED & SENTIMENTAL LADY on the 1981 Welch show at the Roxy. It's odd, considering that as a keyboardist her greatest strength is rhythm, as square & compact as an athlete's washboard abs.

And on those older occasions when we can hear her tambourine (like EYES OF THE WORLD on the Forum video), it sounds better than it looks. Finally, her maraca playing (MONDAY MORNING, OH WELL, WORLD TURNING) has always been spot on.

Puzzling.
