      I don't think it's about outright ability, it's more to do with the fact Jools Holland has been improvising Boogie for decades. Hugh is on unfamiliar territory. If you put a piece of sheet music in front of them and asked them to play from the score the difficulty level would be reversed.

      There's nothing like a straightforward, common old IV- V - I cadence to emphasise an ending! Jazzing it up is just for fun, and appropriately in the style they were just playing. Much like a pantomime actor hamming up, and dragging out, a death scene. A great way to fill time, and end the musical segment entertainingly on T.V. Not exactly inspired improvisation, but that wasn't needed. Quick clever thinking was, to entertain musically to the break. Mission accomplished!

      Weirdly, my son did that. He suddenly could compose complex music. Unfortunately, it wasn't permanent though. He eventually lost the ability. But I am very relieved that his personality and other disturbing behaviours have also settled into to being his natural self. It was somewhat akin to the old story of selling his soul to the devil, and although wondrous in parts, certainly a nightmare in others and not worth it. But I know what you mean. Instant musicality without needing talent, or years of training, would be fantastic!

      God how I miss those days. How I bloody miss them. I would say that of all the consequences of covid that mankind must suffer, the cruel cruel theft of the simple pleasure of sitting next to someone on a piano stool making music must surely be the hardest to bear!! It is exactly the reason I always tried so hard no to get Aids. And just look at the audience - sitting next to each other like it is the most natural thing in the world, watching piano being played! Those were the days when two or more people could sit next to each other in an audience and god how I bloody miss them. Touching their own faces with gay abandon. Rubbing at their eyes with scarcely a thought of their own mortality or how the acerbic arrow of time would inevitably scatter such freedoms to the wind. The treacherous, covid spreading wind. Ah yes, those days. Those days.
      those days.
      Still, could be worse I suppose. One person at a time is still allowed on a piano at least.

    Wow. The chemistry between these two guys is so intense. There's so much energy flowing back and forth. You can almost imagine them afterwards, backstage, stripping down and getting ready for the ride home, standing there shirtless, feeling that same energy, the sweat rising off them into the cool night air. There'd be two cars waiting I'm sure. Two cars going back separately to two lonely hotel rooms. But they'd pause in that moment, their souls forever fused by the fire they felt on stage, feeling and breathing the physicality of this new moment, sensing how all life is connected - the physical, the musical, the spiritual - and communicating to each other with nothing more than a satisfied smile, as if they were merely passing through each other's dream. Could there be a way, one of them might wonder, to turn this connection into something new all over again? To find a new expression for that shared energy heaving in their flesh? Was there in fact another route to the soul, not yet journeyed down? But the moment would pass. They'd dress, pat each other on the back and leave. I like to think something of that moment would stay with them, and they'd always look back and wonder what might have been. Great playing from Hugh and Jools as ever.

      Beautiful writing! To be critical for a moment, musical synthesis doesn't always ignite physical sexual passions. I don't know anything about Jool's Holland; this is the first time I have seen him, but I do know that Hugh Laurie is hetrosexual, and a happily married man, so that distracted from the fantasy for me. That aside, I hope you find/ have found another platform where your writing skills are appreciated. Such as fanfics, or writing your own novel. I like your careful use of words for fluency, and avoiding repetition, the magery, structure, tempo, and passion of your mini story. I like that watching this duet obviously inspired you, and the writing wasn't forced, but a natural expression. Writing and feeling music are obviously your natural elements. May you continue to be inspired, and keep writing! And thanks for sharing your wordsmithing.
