Just wanted to say that you made a great new website ! Very beautiful. Of course, it's a beta version, so I experienced some troubles, but it's a great surprise ! thanx from all your fans all over the world !

Just a teeny tiny question : what's the news with the broken piano thing ?

Message: Just trying some new techniques. Too much touring to complete "Broken Piano", but I hope to get to it in the end part of the year. Thanks for all your interest,

Nieve

kinda random: do you think Steve gets paid well?

How do you define "being paid well"?

300 000 + CAN per year. (Excluding taxes)

At this point, factoring in all the water under the bridge, I'd guess he gets paid enough to keep him living at a level to which he's become accustomed. Plus (as he said in response to a question I left on his message board) he still gets a kick out of where Elvis takes him every night on stage. You can't put a dollar amount on that.

I would think he is well paid if that's your criterion.

I should think most musicians are self-employed or are composite companies in the UK (ie, simplistically, you pay yourself the minimum wage and receive dividends) although Steve may be self-employed in France.

Nieve has posted a video blog. No idea what the hell is up with it, but here's a link http://web.mac.com/stevenieve/iWeb/Site ... /Blog.html The dude's a brilliant musician, but, um....well a wee-bit odd.

The video of the procession at the Buddhist temple has audio that's eerily similar to one of Nieve's melodica solos - ya know, screechy, off-key Jean Stapleton-esque?
