Memory might play tricks on me, but I think I saw a solo Maria McKee touring her 'difficult' third album Life Is Sweet alone, with a really dirty-sounding electric guitar (or at least the rhythm section wasn't memorable at all). I was riveted for the whole show.

I opened a bunch of shows for Maria on that tour. It was her and a keyboard player. She was great every time out.

Is she a Mouseketeer?

Got something against fashion forward headgear?

Oh, that's Grimes? I like her.

[PresMuffley]

Yeah, she's cool. Put on a fun show when I saw her several years back.

I'm glad you posted that because it reminds me of one of the most interesting solo performances I ever witnessed, by Dead Can Dance's percussionist. He played the hang and at one point played a jaw-dropping solo on a middle-eastern tambourine. Anyone who thinks it's an easy instrument to play has never heard a master percussionist playing one!

^ Manu was impressive too, agree not easy. Manu was sometimes using this dis (can't find any video) on the hang. Made different pitches very interesting.
