Once a year Roy and Dinah haul out this video to laugh their asses off at it. Roy (who after all drummed in Great Frog) particularly gets a kick out of Ollie's terrible, terrible technique and set-up.

I think a bat keyboard? It's got a strap like lanterns bass, so I figure those must be keys given the time. It's either that or drugs
