   I figured as much, even though I never saw the movie.

   Besides, there's no place for strife within a band!

   That happens quite a bit - with me I get vibes, one way or another.

   For me it'll be fun when I can make our duo sound more like a band, and I do   
   believe a second keyboard for me should  do it.

   Maybe you should have the rehearsal anyway.

   If they'd just work on sounding their best, at least they'd be in the right   
   direction.   
      
   ---   
   Young Turk definition   
      
   An insurgent person trying to take control of a situation or   
   organization by force or political maneuver. The term originated from   
   the mostly young Turkish officers who overthrew Ottoman rulers after   
   World War I.
