Some of the comments that people with disturbed minds make can be most disarming and yet amusing at the same time. As for the Oscar Peterson shot, I took this at his last ever UK concert shortly before he died. The concert was at the Royal Albert Hall in London in July 2006. The shot was taken from my seat in the euphemistically named Upper Circle! Glad you like it. It's one of my favourite shots and he is one of my favourite musicians.
