One hour twenty minutes of engaging chat , obviously Zoom has it's limitations and EC had problems with his audio and latterly Rt had problems with his battery.
This article posted earlier by SP probably extracts the most interesting bits:-

I forgot a couple of bits of fun :

An inauspicious start as EC began by quoting Joni Mitchell "The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68", RT didn't get it and replied "oh, err wasn't it the Apollo or something?" EC explained that he had been "just kidding".

And throughout EC had a cap turned back-to-front thus mirroring RT's signature beret.

RT might have been referring to the spectacle “build a band” show
