***"This music was not without some audience. When I first started doing live sets of this stuff in 1976, the early punks liked it. Blues fans and avant improv people? Not really. Avant jazz? No. The punk bands were the only people who could relate to it. I was a bit old (27) for that scene and I didn't look like them, but we had a similar energy (including tell-tale bad cough), and the various band people that came in contact with me at the time encouraged me to keep going with it. But all along, I knew that we were both ultimately in for a hard road. I think that both of us were, whether we knew it or not, swinging a wrecking ball into music."
