<div><span style="font-size: 12pt">Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Hong Kong and the place is<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>absolutely packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>audience he asks if anyone would like him to play a request. A little old Chinese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and shouts<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>at the top of his voice "Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!" Amazed<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>that<font color="#000080"><span style="color: navy"> </span></font>this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie's varied career, the<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild. The little old man jumps up<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>again and shouts, "No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord". A bit<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>cheesed off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is, dives<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild with this impromptu show of his technical expertise. <span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>chord". Well and truly cheesed off that this little guy doesn't seem to appreciate<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage "OK smart ass. You<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>get up here and do it!" The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and<span class="884345613-29082007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span>starts to sing.... "A jazz chord, to say, I ruv you..."</span></div>
