Piano Player on Cat Steven's 'Sad Lisa'[edit]

I was wondering if anyone knew who it was that played on the Cat Stevens track 'Sad Lisa' from the album Tea For The Tillerman. Whilst it might just be Cat himself, I can't shake the feeling that it might be Rick Wakeman. Any information would be much appreciated. 86.147.7.111 (talk) 15:11, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the only credit for keyboards on that album is Stevens himself. --Michig (talk) 15:21, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This album review suggests that it was Stevens at the keyboard. This page has keyboard credits for Jean Roussel or Peter Adams for some tracks on the album, but only Cat Stevens for Sad Lisa. Alansplodge (talk) 17:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think I know where you got the "Rick Wakeman" thing from - he was the (uncredited) pianist on Morning has Broken. --TammyMoet (talk) 18:55, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michael J. Fox[edit]

My question is serious please, I am completely unaware of Parkinson's disease consequences. My question is, does it take you to death?. Keeeith (talk) 18:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read our article? μηδείς (talk) 18:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which one? Michael J. Fox? or Parkinson's disease? Keeeith (talk) 18:39, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to want to know mainly about the potential effects of Parkinson's disease, so that is where you should look to find out that general information.
Now, it may be that Michael J. Fox has been given a particular prognosis that differs from the usual run of things, so his article is where you'd go to find out about his particular circumstances, assuming they're available and have been recorded there.
We really shouldn't be having to tell you that you look in Subject X if you want to find out about Subject X. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 18:53, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Identify a TV movie[edit]

Something today reminded me of a TV movie that I saw many years ago, and I'd like to identify it, if only because, although I remember the denouement (spoilers follow), I don't remember the actual _ending_.

It's American, from the late 70's - I don't recall any of the actors, I'm afraid. The protagonist is an attractive young female lawyer, who's prosecuting a rich businessman for murder. She starts to receive anonymous typewritten letters saying "He is innocent" (with a badly-misaligned "e"), which point the finger of suspicion at another guy. She investigates this other guy (yeah, I know, not a particularly lawyerly thing to do, but this _is_ a TV movie), gets him on the witness stand, and presents sufficient evidence to (a) get the businessman acquitted, and (b) get the other guy prosecuted. She has (if it needs saying) fallen in love with the businessman during the course of the trial, and they go back to his place afterwards to celebrate.

(Bet you can't work out what happens next)

In the airing cupboard (or whatever the US equivalent is), she finds - THE VERY TYPEWRITER ON WHICH THE LETTERS WERE WRITTEN!!! However, and this is the frustrating thing, I don't remember what happens next, at the very end of the movie. Does he kill her? Does she kill him? Do the police arrive? If I knew the title of the movie, I could take it from there myself. Thanks in advance for your help. Tevildo (talk) 21:11, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I googled "movie murder typewriter" and got Jagged Edge. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 22:29, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's it... 1985? Glenn Close? My memory must be worse than I thought it was. :) Thanks very much! Tevildo (talk) 01:06, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
