His Ribbon controller lead whipped my leg on one of his Audience walk abouts. Not that was a prog feeling.

That's similar to what happened to me, Karnevil. He was in the audience with the Moog controller, everyone was patting him on the back. I was in an end of aisle seat. I stayed sitting and went to slap his back, as he walked forward , I miss-timed the action and ended up slapping his backside instead.

He had the next factory to me in Peterborough, making flight cases in Tresham Rd, early 80's, saw him everyday. Remember the kid you could never shut up at school who irritated you like hell - that is Rick Wakemen, but nice enough bloke with it
