Ian is my favorite cellist in this mortal world.
He once came to the studio on the barge to record a solo on an album I was producing. At that time we were moored further downstream by tower bridge. The water gets pretty rough there and I remember the boat was rocking like hell.
Ian didnt blink an eye, or loose a beat so to speak.
If I was ever sent to a desert island and had to choose what music to take with me. I might choose to bring Ian :-)
