   FZ seemed to get such a buzz from performing live that I can't see him   
   sending out a hologrammic replica.

   Agreed - wish they'd play the Cambridge Corn Exchange again.   
      
   As for the hologrammic thing, I'd far rather see a bunch of pretty good   
   musicians jamming with another pretty good musician than miming to a   
   hologram, no matter how good the musician in the hologram wuz.   
      
   I'm currently listening to "Dizzie on the French Riviera" - a wonderful   
   album. I wish I'd been at the recording session but wouldn't want to   
   watch a film of it even if one existed.
