So, whats for tea?

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

morning Darren.

Good joke? dunno about that, but this made me laugh

Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is absolutely

packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new audience, He

asks if anyone would like him to play a request. A little old Japanese man

jumps out of his seat in the first row and shouts at the top of his voice

"Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!" Amazed that this guy knows about the

jazz influences in Stevie's varied career, the blind impresario starts to

play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about

10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild.

The little old man jumps up again and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz chord,

play a Jazz chord." A bit irritated by this, Stevie, being the professional

that he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around

the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild

with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.

The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz

chord!" Well now truly irritated that this little guy doesn't seem to

appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage "OK,

mister, you get up here and do it!" The little old man climbs up onto the

stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing... "A jazz chord to say I

ruv you...
