At an open mic night in France, our visiting daughter decided to get up and sing At last, Etta James' classic. I was on acoustic bass, drummer on brushes, mate on keys. However the self appointed house harp player assumed he was included in the line up.  After him playing continuously over the vocals for the first two minutes, I thought I'd really overstepped the mark when I screamed over mic "Shut the f*k up"  but then, a big cheer and applause from every other muso in the place. These people have to be told.😆

Jools Holland on Later tries to turn every song into a "featuring me doing meaningless widdles".

 

 

My most egregious example of Mr Holland mangling a song as a guest was when he did "Doorbell" with the White Stripes, on a Wurlitzer electric piano. What it really needs is simple chords, hit insistently right on the beat, but he did some sort of lazy, sloppy behind-the-beat boogie thing that just turned it to mush.
