The european Jan meets the rocker Steve...and they become each other's music teacher...and they develop a microscopic style of collaboration - because, for Jan and Steve, there must be absolute equality between "music partners"...so the lyrics come out like Thought Duets...
...and now the rocker's all grown up and the intellectual has loosened his jean shirt collar and it's seven years later...seven years of multi-format pop sesh and poofter suss...but hey, even if there were no album release imminent, Jan and Steve's most virtuoso accomplishments would be in the genre of friendship.
