I was particularly fond of Sir John's #4 idea. (Man, wouldn't THAT be something!?)

I am sure that indeed the brush with mortality has changed his priorities and he's concentrating on what gives him the most pleasure. Who can blame him? He may be the happiest he's been in his life at this point.

That said, I always though that A Painter Passing Through was such a good piece of work - a sign that he was back closer to what I consider the best of his work and a shame that we'll not see the real follow up to that.

(please note - this isn't dissing Harmony. It's just that the recording of that work was under unusual circumstances to say the least and it doesn't hang together as well as APPT does. Which albums hang together best as a cohesive piece of work is for another day.....)
