We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

Suddenly we were popstars, and I didn't see myself as that. I saw myself as a blues musician with jazz leanings!

We also did something called the Texas Peace Festival, which was actually a better gig both musically, and in the way it was organised.

The road I walk along is time, it's measured out in hours: And now I need not rush along, I stop to smell the flowers.

We started playing ice hockey arenas and baseball stadiums which was not as good as the underground circuit. I didn't enjoy it as much.

We did an audition for the Marquee, and we happened to know that the manager, John Gee, was a bit of a jazz fan.

There is a big age gap between my sisters Janice and Irma and myself so I didn't know them that well when I was younger although they have been very supportive in later life.

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.
