Aided by Nedi Quamar's African thumb piano (a handmade wooden box holding long metal prongs that are plucked), Renaud Simmons' conga and Joe Chamber's drums, he conjures up a thundering, lashing storm with sweeps across the keyboard -and then lets it fade into the silver pinging of random raindrops.

In fact, an increasing number of moderate-to-liberal Republicans fear that Michigan's Governor George Romney-still the pick of most G.O.P. centrists-may fade long before the convention.
