Firstly,i know Mike was living in LA when the video was made,but where in LA was his house?,how long did he live there?,did he buy or sell it to anyone famous?,did he live there alone?
Also,the shot of Mike playing a spanish guitar thing bye the gold fish,was that improvised,or is it an actual piece of music?

On the box of my VHS it's written In the Pool.
Recentely I've heard the original tune and I did not find it similar to the Elements final track(before Ommadawn again...)

It's a piece of Taurus III which Mike is playing there, if I remember rightly.

yep... korgscrew remembered right, it is a bit of taurus lll.

btw. at the end of this interview he says "... the more i learn the less i realize i know..." wise words imo, nice attitude from him
:)

Other nice quote from Mike was that one referring to his abilty to pick up a guitar and play is something that no one can take it from him...
IMO,I enjoy the interview with him very much...lots of good stuff and a nice guide to understand him better.
