Whu-what? Sorry? Play b with two fingers? Uh, well. I guess I've been told. Tell me, sirs, why pick me out of the madding crowd? What have I done? Really, I mean it's just a little bit too much-- Oh. You uh, you saw that, did you? With the Abercrombie and Fitch saleswoman and everything. Huh. Ahem. Just curious here, where was the camera? Or was that you guys in the carry-on luggage? Really? You both fit in there. Wow, that's.... spooky.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated! Although on the discussion as whether to play it legato or staccato, I find that using both adds variation and character to the piece you're playing. Some tunes might just use legato triplets which lend to it a sense of flowing smoothly while others just use staccato or even both.
