   A picture of Mike sitting at a piano would be like a picture of a woman   
   sitting on Liberace's lap.   
      
   Come to think of it....Perhaps most people today don't realize that it   
   was air blowing through holes in paper that actuated the hammers in   
   player pianos. Hell, maybe most people today don't even know what a   
   player piano is.   
      
   Speaking of which.....I know someone who went to a Beach Boys show the   
   other night, and she swears some of the vocals were prerecorded. Given   
   the Ashlee Simpson story this week, there's been a lot of press about   
   the practice of using prerecorded tracks in live and TV appearances.   
   Apparently it's not at all uncommon.   
      
   Maybe with Bruce on the mend there's some justification for reproducing   
   his voice....i don't know what the rules are on this, or if there are   
   any. But at $50 a ticket, it seems to me we expect to have the   
   musicians doing more than lip synching.   
      
   But I digress.  Besides, she got a free ticket, so I'm sure it was all   
   equitable.
