Why shouldn't he be able to play songs he co-wrote just because he left the band? In interesting topic would be to compare Karl's writing credits to Florian's. On Computer World, Florian co-wrote only 5 of the 7 songs whereas Karl contributed to all 7 songs. I don't have time to check all the albums now but I think the results would be surprising. -- Regards, Mike F Mail to: mff@acedsl.com
