I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was in one bar band from 1965 to '69, then I was in another one from 1970 to '79 - a 9-year bar band!
Then we did what we called basically I suppose a club tour in England, which was the time I think that our second album came out, we club toured around the whole country where the venues were hold to five hundreds upwards to that sort of thing you know.
I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.
Well, I've never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.
I've been part of five different bands in my time.
I used to go to Bourbon Street when I was a kid and there would be club after club after club of people who were around when the music started. I mean these are legendary, maybe not so well known, but legendary musicians.
I was never much of a club guy. Even when I was in New York in the early eighties, I never was once in Studio 54. It was too noisy. My version of those years mostly took place at my house.
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
I have played lots of clubs since I was 14, but I always did my own music.
You have to remember the band played from 1960 to 1965, every night. You get into a rut playing nightclubs every night, and you didn't want to run it into the ground.
