I'd be interested to hear him play - but one paper is saying that might not be true. ::)

According to ABC news this morning, the guy couldn't even play piano, he just tapped one note over and over. Don't quote me on that though, I don't have the full story.

This is a very strange story indeed. First they tell us he's a talented musician who can play classical music on the piano. Now they say he can only continuously tap one note. My 5 week old granddaughter can do that. Someone is obviously not telling the truth. What concerns me more is the cost to the NHS of this fraud & many others like him. I'm helping to pay for this nonsense. What a complete waste of time. ::)

Hi Doug...!

If I play J.S. Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor with my Hammond B-3, (set to Pipe Organ), will it make you feel better... ;)...!

LOL...!

Cheers Doug... ;D...!

Paul...A Whiter Shade of Something... ;)...!

Very nice I'm sure but I won't calm down until I find out who paid for his plane ticket back home to Germany. I'll give you two guesses. Who is the idiot I ask myself? ::) >:(

I'm seriously thinking about sueing the country for a poisoning attempt with this so-called "food" and "beer"...  ;D

Sounds like an alibi confession:
