Hi Rick and Gang,

4-July last year Pierre played the "Watcher Intro" on Julia here,
using the Bass Accordian notes on LH keyboard.  Had that original
sound from way back when.....

...As to the debate if Tony Banks really did that, I'd say YES,
as my ears did not deceive.  Whether L.Ron experimented with tunes
as "Watcher...."  nah.

Now WHAT would a Scientologist play on a Tron  ?
"Nearer My God to Thee", or   "Be Still,My Soul" or  ....maybe.....
"Amazing Tapes.... ...How Sweet The  Sound.......etc. "

OK , I'll shut-up now and sit in the corner again.   -- JK--
