Stephen Housewright

in person interview, Dallas, Tx March 27, 2022 at 8am

Stephen: I want to say one thing right off: I did not want to be one of these old people who’s always talking about how good things used to be. You see that happening, and I see it happening already in myself. I was about to say, “Oh well, everything was so much better in the 60s,” and I shouldn’t say that. I should just say that it was different.

David: Right. Absolutely. 

Because there are many good things about it now, and we were [in Santa Fe] not too long ago—a year ago last fall—and we really enjoyed the city. That area around the railyard has developed…

I used to work at a bookstore there. Big Star Books is what it’s called now. It used to be Blue Moon back in the day. It’s a little house on Guadalupe, right at the railyard there. 

Yeah, yeah. That’s a wonderful area. I went to St John’s, and we walked up there, rode up there…and they have a hiking trail now.

I used to do the trail back there: Atalaya Mountain. Is that the one that’s there?

Yeah, it starts right there. You can get there right by the campus.

Yeah, there’s a little parking spot.

When I was in school, there was no such thing. In fact, when I was there in the 60s, the idea of hiking hadn’t really become as popular as it is now. You could get wild and go off into the hills, and come back, and now, it’s like “Oh, let’s hike.” It’s an official thing. “Let’s all do it together.” 

You have your gear, and you have to look and dress the part. I used to do a lot of cycling before those mountains destroyed my knees, and it’s always funny to me to see the guy on the $7,000 bicycle with the spandex on, and I go up the mountain faster than him.

[Laughs].

Just because you look the part doesn’t mean you can do it!

There’s a wonderful book called A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson, that was made into a movie. Are you familiar with the story?

I know the basics from working in bookstores, but I never actually read it. But it was really popular for a long time.

Well, it’s a great read, a very entertaining read. And one of the main themes he explores in the book is that very thing you’re talking about. They encounter a lady who was so preoccupied with getting all of her gear right, and she’s having trouble with her gear, and it just goes on and on and on. And they just what to walk. At least Bill just wants to walk.

I climbed Wheeler Peak on my 36th birthday outside of Taos, in a t-shirt and shorts, and [with] a very basic backpack. You don’t need anything. You just put one foot in front of the other, and eventually you amble somewhere. You might not get anywhere, but you go somewhere. You have your experience, and you come back.

Yeah. This is almost like the people that we see at the gym now. So many have the fitness monitors and the electronic gear that tells them just how hard they’re working. [Laughs]. Well, I would think I would know that! But I’ve got to try to not be judgmental about this, because we live in a technological age, and people are very fond of their equipment, and they enjoy using it.

Oh, I have backpack full of equipment! On my bicycle I had a little computer for a little while that would tell you how fast you were going, and the distance you traveled. One day I took it off and realized I enjoyed bicycling a lot more.

[Laughs]. Well, I’m kinda unique in the gym—and unique everywhere I go, I guess. I love to read while I work out, and I always select books that are maybe short essays or poetry or little brief things that I can read a few and then do a set, and then go back and read a few more. So I’m carrying little books around with me in the gym, and the 30 or 40 people that are there look at me, and they’ve all got their smartphones.

Right, blasting their playlists of whatever the workout mix of the day is.

And if I can read, I can get my mind off what I’m doing. And the time really just goes by, and I get a good workout.

Absolutely.

Because I’m putting more into it and spending more time there. But we’re just all different in that way, and I’ve seen Hal [Stephen’s partner], who loves gadgets and gear, go through a lot of phases. And, of course, the people who make all this crap, they want you to keep going through these phases! [Laughs].

The worst job I ever had I was doing telephone technical support for Apple. 

[Whispered] Oh, gosh…

I didn’t work for Apple, I worked for another company. It was a contract thing, a terrible job. Most people were fine, they were just like “Hey, something’s broken, I need help,” or whatever, but then you’d get the people who are convinced they can’t live for two seconds without their iPhone, and they just start screaming and yelling and I’m like, “Bro, come on. I’m not getting paid nearly enough to deal with you…”

[Laughs].

“…and if you shut up for 2 seconds, I’ll solve your problem.”

You have a varied background, it sounds like, David.

Brutal.

Brutal? [Laughs].

I have a music degree, which is worthless when it comes to getting a job. I learned a lot and I’m glad I did it, but when you go start applying for jobs, people are like “Oh, music degree.” They think it’s easy, for some reason, to get one of these things, and I’m like “You just take your business degree and add 40 hours a week of practicing on top of that, and then we’ll talk about how easy it is or not to get one of these things.” 

Good point.

And that’s fair. That’s their loss, not mine. But I definitely have done a lot of things. I did technical support. I owned a bakery for a while.

You owned a bakery?

Yeah, for about four years.

Sweets?

Mostly sweets. My real interest was more in the bread side of things, but you sell the sweets; the bread doesn’t sell as well. The markups are better on cakes and whatnot. But [it was] all-natural stuff, mostly local. No food colorings, none of this b.s. None of that fondant crap.

[Laughs].

Fondant was developed as a food preservative originally in the 1700s, because you sealed a cake in it and it’s airtight, for all intents and purposes. You were supposed to lift it up, slice your cake, and put it back down again. It was the Saran Wrap of its day.

Ahhh…

You were never supposed to eat it. I went to the Nasher Sculpture Center [in Dallas] yesterday and someone was setting up for a wedding in the little courtyard, and they had a very traditional wedding cake, this multi-tiered fondant-covered crap. What is the point of this? Nobody’s gonna eat it, and if they do eat it, it doesn’t taste good. But it looks right. And this is America, and what else matters?

So, the bakery is one of the things you’ve done, and now you are in South Carolina teaching?

I’m in North Carolina. I did the tech support job until July of last year. I did it for just under two years, and they gave me a promotion, and I went through the training for this promotion, and then I politely told them to go fuck themselves, because basically they were adding thirty to forty hours of work a week on top of the forty hours I was already doing, and they weren’t paying really well for that. And you still had to do it all in forty hours, so I was taking on a lot of stress for basically nothing. The company’s name was Conduit, and they were the business services division of Xerox. And they just treat their people really badly, at least on the Apple side of things; I have no idea what it’s like on the other side of the company. So, I quit, and I ended up working at a small company. There’s only four of us who work there, and we build websites with universities to study and educate about different medical problems. So, the main project I was hired for is building a website to teach people in the early stages of dementia and memory problems and their caregivers about the financial and legal things that they need to do. And this is in conjunction with the University of California system.

It sounds like something that would do good.

It’s good. I’m not wasting my time trying to sell some widget that nobody needs, and theoretically, this stuff makes a big difference in people’s lives, so it’s nice. And they treat me like I’m a human.

You go into an office, or do you do it at home?

I go to the office, but they’d let me work from home. Two of the four of us work from home, still. Part of the office is a little house in Durham, and the other half of the office is rented out to this company that does psychiatric telemedicine for people in prisons. 

I can imagine. Jeez.

But it’s a very small office. Everybody’s vaccinated. They’re working in prisons, and we work in public health, so everybody has to be vaccinated, so I feel relatively safe there. And I have my own office. I can close the door. There are cherry trees outside the windows. It’s really nice, actually. 

Is this a place where you see yourself being for a little while? A few years?

Yeah, hopefully. Because searching for jobs just sucks, and finding a place that actually treats you well is so rare at this point, that I’m quite happy to stay there forever.

I just don’t understand it, David, I don’t understand why we feel that we have to wring people to get every last bit of juice out of them. Think of Amazon: the way [workers] are treated in their processing facilities. As I was telling Hal the other day, when I became a librarian in 1980, before computers, we didn’t have any sense of quantification. There weren’t any attempts to measure output. There was a good faith belief that if we cared about people and our work, and if we were intellectually curious, we would answer questions well, and take the time needed to do so. We’d show people where to get the information that they wanted. And then by the time I left it had gotten down to where they were counting how many times the books had been checked out. They were counting how much time we spent answering questions, and blah, blah, blah.

My first job as a teenager was shelving books in a library. I loved it. $5.93 an hour to shelve books.

[Laughs].

But when you’re 16, it’s great. It was fine: gas was a dollar a gallon, and you could get a pack of smokes for a dollar. Not that I smoke anymore, but…

This was another change before I retired in 2005: they began requiring that the librarians to shelve the books, there were no more pages. [The idea was] librarians shouldn’t be spending that much time otherwise, since book ordering had been automated, you know?

The only time I applied for grad school was in my thirties, when I applied for a Library Sciences program at UNC Chapel Hill, and they were smart enough not to accept me. 

[Laughs].

Which worked out better, because the job I have now pays better than library jobs in my area. Not by a lot, but library jobs just don’t pay very well. 

So, tell me how you got into music. We’ve been talking about baking and everything else…

In fourth grade I started playing flute. The elementary school band director came around and showed us all the instruments, and nobody told me you had to buzz your lips to play a trumpet. With flute, I could make a sound. It was like blowing over a Coke bottle, just the basic physics of it. I did that for a few years. And in sixth grade I wasn’t really feeling flute anymore. And I hated the middle school band director. The guy was awful. His name was Richard House and, needless to say, we all called him “Dick House.”

[Laughs].

As an adult, obviously, I have lots of friends who have music degrees who have started teaching, and I understand that just because you end up there doesn’t mean you should be there, necessarily. Then in 7th grade they started a Beginning Strings class, and I thought, “Well, I want to keep playing music, so maybe I’ll do this instead of flute.” And because I was the tall mongoloid, they gave me a bass, and that was basically that. At this point I play mostly free improvised stuff, free jazz, some modern classical stuff, and that end of the spectrum.

But you’re not in a group, per se.

I lead a group called Polyorchard, which is a flexible ensemble that does all kinds of stuff. We’ve done Terry Riley pieces and John Zorn pieces, and stuff we write. We did Jackson Mac Low, the poet; we did some of his gathas, and then a lot of other free stuff. Actually, I have CDs for you if you want. I can leave you with some. 

We can trade CDs. I don’t know whether you have any of Jerry’s CDs

The only CD I think I have is Ground, with the stickers on it. I love it. The stickers were actually the reason I pulled that out of this batch of CDs.  “This is small press weirdness, so I’m definitely gonna get this.”

[Laughs].

[The ritual exchanging of CDs.]

Take any of those [Ground, Haramond Plane, Lattice, and Song Drapes] that you care for. These are all extras that I’ve accumulated over the years. Interesting covers. Polyorchard.

There are different lineups. I play on all of them. This one [Sommian] is bass, viola, two B-flat clarinets, and bass clarinet. This one [sextet|quintet] is a different mix: it’s a quintet and a sextet. This one [Ink} is two discs of bass and trombone, which is not as boring as that sounds, hopefully. And this [Black Mountain] is music that we actually wrote and recorded for the 2018 Black Mountain {Re}HAPPENING, and that’s originals by us, intermixed with Jackson Mac Low’s gathas, which are like these crazy poetry grid pieces.

Black Mountain…

That was the one time we were allowed to play the Black Mountain. Now they only have famous people from New York, so I’m not famous anymore.

“Anymore.” Ha!

If I ever was. 

Thank you very much [for the CDs].

Thank you, this is great. 

You know the gallery in Brooklyn, Blank Forms, is reissuing Jerry’s LPs. 

I’ve ordered the Irida ones, and Ground as well. Pre-ordered; I haven’t gotten them yet. They sent me pdfs of all the books and stuff, but I’m playing in Brooklyn June 4th,the week before it closes. I was gonna go, one way or the other. I play with Eugene Chadbourne, and he got a week at The Stone, so we’re doing the last day at The Stone and a couple days in Brooklyn, but before those days I’m doing a short tour with this Canadian guitarist, and they [Jessica Ackerley] booked some stuff in New England for us. And I told them, wherever we end up on June 3rd,I have to be close enough that I can make it to Brooklyn to go to the Blank Forms exhibit in Brooklyn, before soundcheck at The Stone. This is a must, and they’re only open Thursday through Saturday, so if I don’t go on that Saturday, I’m not going to be able to see it because I’ll be out of town by the following Thursday.

But getting back to the stickers on Ground…you know that was Joseph Celli’s OODiscs [label]. So, when Jerry and I were looking at the first CD that we received, and we saw the errors, our joke between us was “Uh oh, another O-O!”

[Laughs].

Now, do you know about these books? 

This one I have [Stephen’s book Partners]. I actually have a copy of this here with me, and this one I have ordered [Blank Forms 08 Transmissions from the Pleroma], but I haven’t gotten it yet.

I’m so impressed with that. These just came last week. These are both advance copies.

I have the pdf of this [Transmissions]. And just looking through the pdf of this, it’s amazing that someone is doing this and taking the time, and that it’s visual, too. Because I feel like Jerry Hunt is like Laurie Anderson to me, in a way, where when you listen to the recordings, you’re only getting ten percent of the experience. I didn’t understand Laurie Anderson at all until I saw her perform live and then I was like, “Wait a minute, this all makes total sense.” And obviously, at this point, I’m never gonna get to see Jerry, so I’m glad that at least some of this stuff is starting to slowly float out, because for all intents and purposes, he doesn’t exist online. There’s jerryhunt.org, and there are two things on YouTube, and that’s it, basically.

Mm-hmm.

Actually, just last week, or the week before, someone uploaded Telephone Calls With The Dead. I think whatever organization was part of that originally were the ones who uploaded it. And it was this huge thing: all of a sudden it was like “Holy crap! There’s new Jerry Hunt for me to watch!” 

How did you discover Jerry’s music? 

I was working in a bookstore in Santa Fe, and James Brody, who’s an electronic composer who died in a car wreck in 2006, I think, his wife lived out in Santa Fe, and ten years later— this was like 2015, or early 2016—she showed up with all of his CDs, and it was 500 CDs of things like Stockhausen, 20thcentury avant garde stuff. And there was a copy of Ground tucked in there, and Ground is the only one that came home with me from that stash. I mean, I wanted to buy other ones, but I was like “I’m not finding this again ever in the wild. So, I need to take this one.”

So, [it was] a kind of serendipity, in a way.

Yeah.

I really can’t believe that Lawrence Kumpf has done all this. He called me four years ago with the idea that he was gonna do some sort of exhibit tribute to Jerry and his work, and it’s taken that long for it all to come together. And if I had known, when I got that call, that it would turn out to be this big of a deal…I mean, this is all that needs to happen, really. What he’s done here—the materials and the exhibit—it’s everything that needs to happen to really ensure that Jerry’s work will be remembered. And not only that, but people will discover it and enjoy it. 

Are there any plans for the future other than this exhibit?

No, the next step will be the materials, the archives will go somewhere. You know, I’m 78, they don’t need to come back to Canton,, so Lawrence plans to work with a library somewhere—he hasn’t picked one yet—who will be willing to take the material, and who will want the material. The idea being that Lawrence will select a place that’s appropriate for it, and everything will go there.

Hopefully it’ll be a place that does the work. I mean, we know how much effort it takes for an archive to become digital and become accessible. I feel like a lot of collections end up in a library, but then there’s no funding to actually do the work, so they sit in boxes on a shelf somewhere.

You’re exactly right.

My interest in Library Sciences was more related to the archiving side of things, and making that stuff more available.

I hope Lawrence will select a place that will be willing to do just what you’re suggesting. Speaking of that esotericism: I’m reading the biography now of Edward Carpenter that was written several years ago and is now out of print. He was a late 1900s, early 20th century lecturer, poet, writer, promoter of antivivisection, and in this biography, [author Sheila Rowbotham] talks about the enthusiasm at that time, in the late 1800s, early 1900s, for other worlds, for reaching out into other realms, and spiritualism and all that kind of thing. And it was very, very intense, and a lot of it was centered in Cambridge.

Yeah, England was a huge center for this stuff. Cambridge, in particular.

I’ll just bet there’s a lot there.

Even Duke, in Durham, in the 1960s, had the Rhine Institute. They were doing studies in ESP and all this stuff under the auspices of Duke University. It was an official thing, and then Dr. Rhine went and falsified some data, and they got kicked out. The Rhine Institute still exists in Durham, but they’re barely functional; even before Covid, they were barely functional. And I’m somewhat interested in this, but not nearly to the extent that my ex was. I sent her an article recently that I came across about spiritualism in Jews in England after WW1, and their attempts to contact the dead, but through the Jewish culture, which is something that never gets talked about. The article was actually co-written with a rabbi, and totally fascinating. They have pictures, supposedly, of, like, ectoplasm and stuff popping out of people…

Something happened years ago at the library that I’ve never forgotten. There was a magazine—we read so many magazines, of course, to select our books. Part of my job, and a very pleasant part of it, was to read a lot of magazines and newspapers and look for reviews. Anyway, this one magazine had a picture that was really a work of art, meant to be. It was a man lying in a bed, which apparently was in a ward somewhere, and it was the moment of his death. And there was an attempt to represent what his spirit might have looked like as it left his body, and headed to a window in that room, and began to make its way into space. Just, “he’s leaving,” was the sense of it. And I thought, “this is really interesting.” And one the ladies who worked in the department happened to be walking by, and I said “Look at this picture.” And I showed it to her, and she just burst into tears

Wow.

It was so vivid to her, and somehow it churned her beliefs and her expectations and her hopes and her memories, and it all just came to the fore. And I thought: don’t ever underestimate the potency of little things that you think up, which for you are jokes, in a way. For her, it was just a revelation, and she just walked away, and I thought “Wow.” [Laughs].

Did you ever talk to her about it afterwards?

No, I couldn’t.

Fair enough. Just curious if she ever brought it up.

No.

Because I’d wanna know what happened afterwards, after having a moment like that.

You know, I don’t know why I didn’t. Maybe I had to be on the desk, probably! [Laughs]. She was a delightful lady, and I think I’ve known others in my life like that…. Be careful, because sometimes you’re playing with fire, and for you, they’re fireworks, but for them, they’re bombs.

Oh, absolutely. You can blow up somebody’s life without even realizing it.

Mm-hmm.

It’s really easy. Especially with something casual, something like spiritualism that could really upend somebody’s religious beliefs.

Mm-hmm.

Because, definitely, the way Christianity is practiced in America, it’s really closed at this point, and some people can handle the outside information and some people just can’t. And for some people, it blows everything up. 

We live in a part of the area—Rowlett, Garland and Rockwall—which is rather conservative. There are a lot of churches here and a lot of very religious people.

I noticed.

I see it at the gym, and I see the shirts that people wear—the men as well as the women—with their religious insignia. And you know, I’m also familiar with a lot of areas in Dallas that are more occupied by younger people, and you don’t see so much of that there, you know? I think among the young people, unless they’re evangelical, there’s not a lot of interest in religion.

Or at least to not to be so explicit.

Right, right. And I kind of enjoy going back and forth, you know? I like being in the West Village or Mockingbird Station, or Trinity Groves, and being with that group of people, and then I like kinda being out here, because these are very good, kind people, you know? I feel like all of our neighbors, and the people that we encounter in the restaurants we go to…I’m comfortable. But you definitely sense that you are shifting frequencies or, I don’t know how to describe it. Wavelengths or whatever.

There’s definitely an energy transference. Some people are hip to that, and some people can’t handle it at all. It’s really interesting to see how, just like you walking into the room…I’m not a gay man, so I don’t understand what that’s like, but it’s just fascinating to see people react to these things. Or you see an interracial couple walk in or something. You know, it’s 2022, a lot people don’t give a crap, but there are some people who react really hard to it. 

[Laughs]. Yes. Well, Hal was born in Germany. His father was a black man, and his mother was a German lady. He was in an orphanage, put up for adoption and then he was adopted by a black family in San Antonio. So, he’s German-born. [He] spoke German in his early years, moved to San Antonio to a black community—he’s mixed race, you could say—and things happen all the time with…we were walking into a shoe store the other day, and a lady came up to him and she said “Oh, where’d you get that tan? I’d love to have a tan like that!” [Laughs]. And it just rolls right off him. He’s utterly indifferent to it. But it hits me, you know? [Laughs].

That’s so funny [that] people even feel like that’s okay to even say. I have black women friends, and people are always commenting on their hair, or whatever. And how inappropriate it is that people just come up and touch them. I would never touch a stranger without asking. 

[Laughs]. Well, do you want to go see some places?

We can, or we can talk. Whatever is fine. I actually have like ten more hours of driving today, so I’m good till maybe 11 or so. Another hour and half? 

That’s good for me, because we’re gonna be going for lunch later. I owe Hal a good lunch after yesterday. We had a sad experience yesterday. A former co-worker of mine, in fact my boss for over 20 years, she’s had Alzheimer’s.

Oh, no.

So, we took some charcuterie to her husband who’s looking after her. And we couldn’t see her, and that’s ok. I didn’t want particularly want to see her. So, we visited with him at the door, and it was a hard thing. And Hal was with me through it, so there needs to be a little bit of a payback today for him. [Laughs].

That’s nice of you.

Well, she was a wonderful lady. Probably the smartest person I’ve ever known, and one of the best. A good, good person, and as far as a boss goes: totally fair. I mean, the woman just wrote the book on equitability.

It’s amazing to have people like that, because so many people just aren’t, for whatever reason. 

I know.

Whether they’re teachers or bosses or whatever. I definitely had teachers who I didn’t get along with, and they couldn’t separate that from the grading. I’m like “My work’s good! I know you hate me, but that’s besides the point!” [Laughs].

Well, what I propose that we do is I’ll take you, and I’ll do the driving, over to the neighborhood where Jerry and I grew up, where we met. And the reason I want you to see that is so that you can see kind of where he came from. And seeing it is more vivid than reading about it.

Absolutely. Even though I know everything’s changed in the intervening years.

But not that much. You’d be surprised. There’s still much you can see that’s very much the way it was when we were prowling around as kids. And then we can talk, of course, as we do the drive. 

I love your dogs. They’re great.

Yeah, Coco’s a sweet dog. Coco is a more primitive animal than Meela, she’s a little slower to pick up on what’s going on. She’s very, very loving, but Meela is so smart, and she’s got to be right in the middle of what’s happening. In fact, she’d like to direct! [Laughs]. 

[Laughs].

Let me make a trip to the john and then we’ll head out. Where are you aiming for, to be tonight? 

I’m going to end up in Littlefield, which is between Lubbock and Clovis. But I’ve to go to Austin and pick somebody up and bring her out there, so I’m going down and then going back up again.

I always think of it as “getting” to go to Austin. I love Austin.

I’ve actually never been there. This is actually the first time I’ve ever been to Texas, other than driving across the panhandle on the interstate.

Oh, I wish you had more time to explore Austin, but I know you’ve got duties.

Yeah, maybe on the way back I’ll have a little time. 

Hal: So you must enjoy driving.

Yeah, it’s OK. Because of Covid, of course, I basically haven’t gone anywhere in two years, so it’s just nice to be out and about on a trip. But, you know, sitting in a car is still sitting in a car, regardless of how much you like it or what you’re looking at. 

Hal: I like to ride. I lived in Austin, too, and I never could get a job there after I got out of the army, no matter how much I tried. But I’d always go down there. And I hated driving, so I’d rent maybe a Lincoln—I never got into anything exotic—but I’d rent maybe a Lincoln, or a Jeep or something, to make the drive more exciting. I hate driving. I may be worse at it now…

It’s the European in you! My dad’s Belgian. I mean, he drives all the time, but I think he’s the same way. I think if he could not have a car…honestly if I could not have a car, I’d be quite happy. But our society is definitely not built for public transportation. Especially driving around this area, it’s clear nobody walks around here. I mean, I really would like to talk to whoever designed the roads. I have some questions. I’ll be polite, but I have some questions!

Hal: We all have six or seven cars around here.

I play bass, so I have to have a car anyway, because you have to have something to carry this thing around. There’s actually a bass in the car out front.

Hal [to dog] You’re just too affectionate.

Honestly, I’m gonna steal this little guy. [To dog] You’re gonna come home with me. [To Hal] If he’s missing later on, don’t be too concerned.

Hal: Well, he [Stephen] told you the story about her, right?

No.

Hal: We got her from the neighbors back here. They have a habit of getting a dog and then just throwing it in the backyard. 

Oh, those people. I know those kinds of people. 

Hal: They get them, and they just dump them outside the gate, and they did that with her. I took her back and they looked at me like I was an idiot, and then they put her out again, so we rescued her.

People who treat animals poorly…I don’t believe in the death penalty, but I fully believe for people who treat animals bad, or who treat kids bad… 

She likes you! 

Yeah! All dogs like me, because they’re dogs. It’s not their fault, they don’t know any better.

[Laughs].

Look at them! They bonded. We’ll be back before you know it, Hal. 

Hal: OK. Have a nice ride.

Nice to meet you.

Hal: Same here. Be safe and enjoy Austin!

Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. 

Bye Coco, bye Meela. I’ll see you later. You stay with Hal. 

I’m looking forward to seeing the stars again. You can’t see the stars on the east coast. 

There are plenty of places here, particularly out where you’re going. 

I had trouble, actually, driving through Alabama. I was doing it in the evening, and I was looking up at the stars and I kept running off the road! 

Well, that’s my problem with driving, you know. And I’ll warn you, because I do look at the scenery when I probably shouldn’t be. Hal just fascinates me. He’s creative in ways that I would never expect, and he does these little things around the property, and he’s got this little village started here. 

Oh, this is great!

It’s like everything else here: it’s a work in progress, you know? It will evolve, and at some point, it might just disappear.

Well, that’s how it should be.

Look at the little bridges, and the ramps

Like a little pyramid here in the back, and the temple or whatever.

It’s just beautiful. That’s what [Hal] enjoys doing, you know? I love playing the piano, I love reading; he’s working with his hands. He’s doing stuff. He’s arranging stuff.

A dapper looking older white gentleman in a ball cap, glasses, a polo shirt, and jeans with his arms behind his back and he is smiling widely in his front yard in Dallas.

Yeah, you’re working with your hands, too. Just in a different way.

I guess!

I mean, you’re not using a saw. Unless you’re doing like a Fluxus piece or something. 

[Laughs].

I’m really into Ben Patterson. Aside from the fact that he’s the only bassist in Fluxus, he was also the only African American person in Fluxus. There’s a great picture of him and Wolf Vostell, and a couple other guys, sawing this piano in half. It just looks so good. We have the same car. You’ve got a fancier one than me. 

How long have you had yours? 

This is a 2017 that I bought a year and half ago, but before that, I had a 2005. Same car. Somebody had leased it. They put their 12,000 miles on it for three years, and I bought it right after that. Thank you for driving, by the way.

Oh, sure. They’re great cars. The only problem was this car: they had the idea that they could save gas mileage, and they could advertise a lower gas mileage figure, by putting on a feature that stops the motor every time you stop.

Oh, no, I hate that. My car doesn’t do that. I rented a car once that did that. And every time I thought there was something wrong. And like, do I have to restart the engine at every stoplight? What’s going on? 

Right. Well, they’ve made it easier to remove it. They put an icon here now that you can just press and make it go away. 

Oh, that’s nice. 

But you have to deal with it all the time. Every time I get in the car, every time I start the car, I’ve got to press that icon. So, I talked to the people at the dealership. I said, “Does anybody like this?” and they said no. He said, “We get hundreds of complaints a day.”

It’s a thing on paper to say that it’s better. But it’s not, because it makes everybody’s life worse. Mine is classified in California as a partial zero emission vehicle, because it’s designed to coast, so when you take your foot off the brake, instead of slowing down, it just kind of coasts like when you’re on the highway, which is kind of nice. Because, technically speaking, for those few seconds, it’s not burning [more] gasoline. And it’s just this accounting thing for California to meet their carbon goals. But I’m still putting out the carbon. It’s still happening, regardless of what your paper says! [Laughs].

The latest thing, at least latest for me, they’re prohibiting all-natural gas in a lot of cities now. New homes cannot have gas ranges. And you know, Jerry always said that cooking with gas was the best way to cook, because you had the instant control of the heat.

I don’t disagree, as somebody who’s cooked a lot, but at the same time, it’s so inefficient. It’s only like 25% efficiency, or something like that. So basically, 75% of what you’re burning goes nowhere.

Did you know that the gas stoves leak even when they’re off?

Yeah, I heard about that. And the way we get gas at this point, with fracking and stuff, is so nasty. My apartment has a glass-top electric range, which is okay. I’m okay with this, versus fracking the environment so I could have a gas stove. But it’s definitely a different experience. I prefer cooking on gas.

Well, [Jerry] taught me everything about good eating. I mean, I’m not a cook. I can do a little cooking now. You’d think, after all these years, I would have learned some things. I’ve got some basic things I like to make. But he explored. He had to know, he had get every kind of cuisine’s cookbook and explore, and learn the spices and the techniques. And we enjoyed so many different kinds of food.

I’ve definitely had that problem over the years. Before I left, I planted some nigella seeds, black cumin. I mean, I can get them at an Indian grocery store, but that’s not something I can go buy at the farmer’s market, for instance. Because nobody’s gonna grow that. But I actually just saw that in Durham, it’s supposed to hit 29 degrees tonight, so hopefully they’ll be okay. I knew coming out here. I just put all my plants outside, and it’s just going to be what it is. And if they die, I’ll just start some new ones.

But I don’t think you’ve got a problem. Unless it’s gonna be really cold for a long time. 

Yeah, I think it’ll be okay. Because it’s gonna be one evening dipping down for a couple of hours at the most, and then that’s it.

It’s a steadiness, you know, that really gets the plants. 

If it’s 20, maybe it’d be a little more of a concern than 29. And because I’m in the city, it’s usually a degree or two warmer than they say it’s gonna be. I’m a mile east of downtown. So weather-wise, for all intents and purposes, I’m in downtown.

I brought all my plants and put them all back outside. I’ve got about six that winter indoors, and it was such a treat to put them back out. And I felt like they were so glad to be out. You know, they don’t thrive indoors.

No. Even if they can handle the shade, it doesn’t mean they like it. My favorite plant is an apricot tree that I grew from the tree that was in my backyard in Santa Fe. I sprouted a couple of them, and one has managed to survive. It’s five and a half. It’ll be six in October. So, I’m hoping in a year or two, I might actually get fruit out of it.

Well, that’s another thing I remember about Santa Fe. We would walk down to the plaza from the college campus and they would very often be apricot trees in the appropriate time of the year, when we could just casually walk over and reach through the fence and get an apricot or two. They were delicious.

I walked to work there. Maybe a 15-20 minute walk, and I would pass apricots, apples, pears, cherries, figs, grapes. And basically, nobody in that area seemed to be eating them, except for me, so I would just be stealing fruit on the way to and from work.

Well, I had always thought that I would return to Santa Fe. And if I had not met Hal, I probably would have. But we’ve been now several times since then, and I’ve always enjoyed my trips out there. But you know, there’s this thing: you really cannot go back. You can’t go back. And part of my attraction to Santa Fe is my pleasant memories of when I was out there.

Of course.

Which was when I was the age I was when I was out there. And with the outlook I had when I was out there. And all that’s changed now. Even though I might like to go back, I can’t go back.

It’s also an incredibly expensive area to live in at this point.

I know. There was a magazine we picked up this last fall when we were there, and a realtor was interviewed, and she said “Don’t buy anything out here now. Put it on hold,” she said. “The prices are just outrageous.” And she’s talking to prospective residents. “Don’t come!” [Laughs].

It’s the same thing where I live in Durham now. Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, all that area has become unaffordable for basically everybody in the last couple of years. Rents have doubled and tripled in some places. And the housing market is so crazy. There was a house in Raleigh, about a month ago that was listed for under $200,000, which is super rare. 900 people showed up to the open house. And they were all ready to cut each other’s throats.

Yeah, I hear stories like that all the time about property here. As soon as a house is advertised with a price, people begin submitting their bids, and they’re upping the price. They’re adding thousands and thousands of dollars. There’s a nice new bridge. I I learned to swim in the little pool here on the right.

Oh, nice. 

…which is about to be torn up. It’s too old and cracked. And it’s past its time. I was probably in the fourth grade when I decided I would do my first dive. And I did! I’m sure I executed a perfectly elegant little sissy dive right to the bottom of the pool, because it was only four feet. [Laughs]. I didn’t think about looking to see what the depth would be.

[Laughs].

They had to take me to the emergency room. I had to have stitches. 

Oh, man. You’re lucky. That’s one of those things that, like half a centimeter another way, and you could have had a very different life. 

[Laughs]. It’s true. 

Kids are so dumb. I mean, fearless, you know. Because they do that stuff all the time and never think twice about it. And you know, 99% of the time, it’s just fine.

Yeah. Well, I guess it’s a good thing that we are that way, because we’d explore, we’d extend ourselves, we’d subject ourselves to challenges, you know. You don’t want to sit safe.

And the childhood body is designed to be rubbery, for lack of a better word. 

You’ve heard about little children that fall into freezing water and can survive a long time. 

Yeah. 

It’s not a disaster, really, for a kid to fall through the ice!

Yeah, it’s very different, especially for older folks.

So, this area where we grew up, we’re kind of getting into it now. Of course, in all these years it has become much busier. The traffic, many, many new homes and developments. I learned to drive down this street. My father took me here to teach me, because there was nothing down there. It was all just pasture. Just countryside. That’s completely changed. He was impatient, though. He was such a good driver. He was a truck driver, and then he became a shipping clerk. So, he was excellent. And I was learning, and slow and awkward. And I felt like I already knew it, because that’s the way I approach everything, you know? Mr. Know-It-All! And it just didn’t work at all. So, I went to my sister who was three years younger, and said “Do you think you could show me to drive?” She’s the one who taught me.

My dad taught me and my older brother to drive on my mom’s car because it was an automatic. My dad drove a pickup truck that was a stick, but he would not teach us to drive stick on the truck. If we bought a car that was a stick, he would teach us to drive stick, and I ended up buying an old Volkswagen and learning to drive stick. And then when my Volkswagen was in the shop because it was old—and that happened not infrequently—I could drive my dad’s truck, because I could drive stick. But my brother couldn’t, and it drove him insane, because he’s older, you know? I was allowed to drive the truck and he wasn’t. I mean, it wasn’t that he wasn’t allowed, it’s just that my dad didn’t want anybody ripping the transmission out of the truck. It makes total sense. [He was] less concerned about the automatic in my mom’s station wagon.

I have a truck in Canton, my farm truck. I used to bring in hay for the animals with it, and will again if I did animals again, but it’s a stick, and I’ve enjoyed it very much. It’s a nice little Nissan truck. And the stick is very satisfying. 

It really is.

To learn to use it and use it well, to use it efficiently and smoothly, is very satisfying. It’s a real driving experience, which this is hardly… This isn’t driving, this is just steadying! 

But on the other hand, when I drive 1200 miles, it’s nice not to have to pump that clutch all the time. That’s for sure. Like when I was going through Atlanta, Atlanta was basically a parking lot. It was an hour and a half to go 20 miles. And I was really glad I was not having to ride that clutch. You know, start and stop, start and stop, all the way through, that would have been…might be good for my knee, though, to have the exercise while I’m in the car. I don’t know. 

Hal is a real car enthusiast. I’m not particularly, but he loves the old cars from the 70s and 80s. He has five vehicles. It’s so embarrassing. [Laughs]. Five vehicles. And his latest acquisition is in 1981 Lincoln Continental. 

Oh, wow. That’s a boat. 

Oh, it’s like driving in a rolling living room. 

Yeah, those are super plush cars.

We had a tornado warning the other night and I texted him and said, “Be sure to get in the hallway if the storm comes your way.” And he started getting into the backseat of the Lincoln to perish in luxury!

[Laughs]. Smart man. I find it amazing that we’re still building cities like this, that just sprawl endlessly. I’m willing to accept that, maybe in the 1950s and 60s, we didn’t know better. But now I feel like we clearly understand the environmental costs of these kinds of things. But we keep doing it. I spent the night with some friends in Dallas—north of Dallas, I have no idea what town they live in. They just moved there a couple of years ago, and we went out to pick up a pizza. And we drove by nothing but new construction. And [my friend] was like “Even two years ago, this was all fields and cows.” But it just keeps pushing farther out into the land, because there’s nothing blocking them here so they can just keep doing it.

You don’t remember the name of the town?

Actually, I can look on my phone.

Well, it’s not important. I just would kind of like to know, I was gonna ask you where you stayed. 

It wasn’t far from you, which was convenient. Let’s see. [checks phone]. Carrollton. 

Oh, yeah. Well, Carrollton was one of the first white flight areas in Dallas. Plano, McKinney, Carrollton, all those communities north of the city. People were getting out of town. They did not want those buses to come for their kids. 

Of course. 

But now we’ve gone beyond white flight, and we’re into the gentrification. We’re into the “I’ve got a lot of money and I want my space and I want my mansion,” and the new cities that have come into being with that mentality are Frisco and Flower Mound, and places like that. But I’ve seen the city just leapfrog outward—always outward—and northward. You don’t want to go south.

What do you even do with these giant homes? I see these 3,000, 4,000 square foot homes being built. And just the thought of having to put furniture in it, and then clean it… 

…and deal with it. 

But I guess if you have that much money, somebody else is cleaning it. But, still. I saw a 5000 square foot home the other day, and I just like freaked out. I live in a tiny apartment. It’s 340 square feet.

And isn’t a pleasure to have just enough? 

Yeah. I’d like maybe one more room than I have. But I’m totally okay with it. I couldn’t afford to live in Durham, otherwise. I live on, you know, “the wrong side of the tracks,” so to speak, that’s gentrifying faster than you can blink. And I only ended up there because I could afford it when I was doing a telephone job, which really didn’t pay well at all. And now, if I move, my rent is gonna go up $500, minimum.

Well, this [Ferguson] is the street where I grew up, and when we moved here in the 50s, there was one lane on each side, and this was all grass in the center, and I don’t think my father had any idea that all this space was left so that it could be what it is today. This was the house, right here. My sister and I were there. And you know, again, we had shrubs all along the front. A nice vegetable garden in the back. It’s been transformed. But it doesn’t look particularly bad. I mean, they’re doing a pretty good job with it. 

A small home with tall trees and a grass lawn.

It’s still standing.

I think the neighborhood is holding its own. Some neighborhoods have gone down. 

Sure. But they’ll come up if you give them another 20 years. That stuff’s always cyclical.

And I’d wander this way, going to see Jerry, or he’d come over to see me, with shopping baskets. Not one, but two! [Laughs]. We were big into bikes when we were growing up. But we also did so much more walking than kids do now. I mean, I didn’t have a car until I was in college. And you know, I walked everywhere. I didn’t think anything about it. I think mother felt like we were safe, even as children, heading out on our bikes. 

Me and my friend Nathan, when we were 13, would do 30-mile bike rides on Saturday. Just bopping around, getting away from the parents, like you’re supposed to do when you’re 13.

Walking bridges, walking along the drain pipe, over gullies, hands out to the side to see if you could do it without falling off.

Poking your head in a sewer, or something ridiculous. 

Yeah. 

My parents were very restrictive about TV time and stuff. I could spend all day with a book but I never would have been allowed to spend all day Saturday watching TV or something. 

Well, my parents were not really that engaged with the way we were growing up. I mean, they’d get involved if there were issues, and they’d praise us when we did well, but it was pretty much hands-off rearing.

Yeah, right. Show up at dinnertime. And that’s it. 

Yeah. And that was the case with Jerry’s parents, too, until they suspected he might be gay. And then they got really involved because they were so frightened.

Oh, no. It’s so funny. I mean, I know it’s still a thing for a lot of parents today. But it’s just mind boggling to me. Like, you see the trans bullshit going on in Texas right now, and stuff like that. It’s like, it’s your kid man. You might not like your kids’ decisions or whatever, but they’re still your kid. You should still love them and support them, regardless.

This was Jerry’s house: the second one right there [on San Medina Ave]. And again, it had shrubs all over the front, all along the front of it. And now it’s got little gaudy flowers. His piano was in that front window. So, you see, it was fairly close. We lived fairly close. And we were going back and forth a lot. There were five people in our small home, and just the three in Jerry’s, so I liked being over here because there was so much more space. 

A small brick home with a small truck in the driveway and a lawn.

Mm-hmm.

The only thing that I think about when I think about my parents that makes me pause was that there was this sense that if you didn’t do the right thing, you’d let [them] down. That’s the way we were guided, you know: “don’t let us down.” So, you’d mess up, and you had let them down, and you’ve felt so bad. I don’t know why we had to be made to feel so bad. You know, just go ahead and whip us and make us sore. And it’s over, you know?

Yeah, that psychological thing is really interesting. And I’m that way to myself, in some ways. I’m better than I used to be, but I’m definitely really hard [on myself]. Like, you don’t need to punish me because I will punish myself just fine. But it’s such a weird thing to do to kids. I mean, I realize too, obviously, in the 21st century, we have a different conception of child rearing than we used to have. And hopefully each generation learns from the mistakes. 

Well, if you love your child—really love them—and are patient, and spend time with them, mostly things work out well, don’t you think? 

Yeah. I mean, I really think that’s all you’ve got to do. You make sure they have food, you make sure they have clothes, you make sure they go to school on time. And you just say yes. Like when I came home and said I wanted to play bass, my parents said yes. I don’t know what kind of conversations they might have had amongst themselves, but to me, it wasn’t a thing. And in seventh grade, I used a school instrument, and in eighth grade when it became obvious that I was serious about it, they got me, like, a cheap plywood, student bass. But I also understand that that was a not-insignificant financial sacrifice at that time, or at least an unexpected one, if nothing else. I was never worried about going hungry. But I was also aware of the fact that there wasn’t tons of money. My parents are not flashy people. They’ve lived in the same house since 1986. 

You had one brother? 

One brother, who’s two years older than me. My mom was born in ‘51, in New York, to a Jewish family. They were good parents. I’m sure as a child, I might not have thought that, but as an adult…

You can appreciate them now as you look back. Isn’t that always the way?

Yeah. They did a great job. I have no real complaints, especially compared to my friends. And just the horror stories.

The picture that you’re taking [Bryan Adams High School] will include the classroom that we had our wonderful English class in, Jerry and I, with Mrs. Worsham, the teacher who was beyond burned out. But she was still a good teacher, and yet, sarcastic. 

Bryan Adams High School - a long two story building with lots of windows, two large trees in the expansive yard, a sidewalk, and a telephone pole.

That’s my kind of teacher!

We really appreciated her sarcasm when kids would do or say something stupid. She just really leveled them without them even knowing that she’d done it.

Those were the best teachers, who can just, like, stab you in the heart, and you don’t even realize it’s happened. 

They’re redoing all the front. This is completely different from the way it used to be. And I’m glad to see the school is being redone. That was the auditorium in there. That was kind of fancy for us when we first walked in. We thought it was just a real neat place. Jerry and I were both in the orchestra. 

What did you play? 

I played French horn and violin, and he was a bass player.

Oh, he was a bass player? That’s hilarious. I had no idea he had that disease, also!

Well, I don’t think he took it all that seriously. But the thing is, if you were in orchestra and band, you didn’t have to be in the ROTC. So we placed out. 

Good for you guys. Screw the military. I mean, the way that they do that stuff to children, it’s just mind boggling to me. I went to Enloe in Raleigh, which was considered an arts high school, and it’s where the nerds went to school. We had sports teams, but they weren’t any good. But the ROTC was super active there still, and it was just like, come on, guys. Nobody here needs to go die for oil. Or at least wait till they’re 18, you know, before asking?

You know, I agree with you, totally, and more. But I think about how when Hal finished high school in San Antonio, with no particular motivation, with nothing behind him from his parents to encourage him to move forward with school. He didn’t know what he was gonna do, and the army was the best thing at the time. 

Oh, absolutely. I know a few people like that, that for whatever reason, they ended up enlisting and it actually gave them the focus they needed to become real human beings, which is great.

My friends got some direction. We’re gonna make our way over to the junior high, which is where Jerry and I met. Sometimes I get turned around over here because these streets are…

I was gonna say, I have no idea where I am! I’m good with geography, in my mind, and, you know, orienting myself to where I am in this whole area around Dallas and stuff, I have no clue where I am, ever. I haven’t been here long enough. It would take me years to start piecing it together.

Do you have a sense of direction? 

Yeah, I have a really good sense of direction, generally. Certainly, in the daytime. I know where the sun is. You know, like, that was at my back. So, I need to turn around.

Do you know about the little libraries? 

Yes. I love the little libraries. 

Look, there’s one right there. 

Is it a good one?

It’s cute. They’re everywhere.

But it’s Jodi Picoult. I don’t need Jodi Picoult.

I’ve never found much of interest in them, but I’m just glad they’re there. 

I think they’re great. And every now and again, you’ll find something super weird or just unusual. And, you know, there’s nothing wrong with reading Jodi Picoult, if that’s your thing, or James Patterson or whatever. Sometimes I love this trashy stuff. They’re totally entertaining.

We all need to kind of have our breaks. 

I don’t know if you’ve ever read Lee Child, but I love his stuff. The Jack Reacher books. You know, they’re mindless entertainment. But I can just disappear into that for hours. I read lots of “serious” stuff or experimental stuff or art stuff or whatever, and as much as I enjoy that stuff, you read two pages, and then you got to put it down and think about it for a while.

It’s good to see these homes are like being looked after. It’s still a pleasant neighborhood 

Yeah, it looks really nice. Nice and calm. On a Sunday—it’s Sunday, right?—Sunday morning.

Well, of course, that’s the story here. It’s a good time to be driving around. People are sleeping late. 

I wish I could do that. 

We get up early. We like the mornings. 

Me too. My body’s on East Coast time anyway. So I was up at 5:30 this morning, which is a little earlier than I would have liked. But you know, whatever. I would have settled for 6:30.

I get up at 5:30. That’s my usual wake time. And Hal has to be at work every day at 6. So, he’s definitely an early morning person.

I worked shifts like that for a long time at various jobs.

This is our junior high [W.H. Gaston Middle School]. This is really an important school for me because Jerry and I had our first few years together here and you know, it was okay, but they kept us pretty busy with the schoolwork. But here we were free to play and explore. And it was a junior high, now they call it a middle school.

An institutional looking two story building with a flag on a flag pole and an expansive green lawn

Yeah, mine was the same. At one point it was junior high. And then it was middle school by the time I was there. [Looking at middle school] Oh, yeah. Classic. With the air conditioners in the windows and everything.

Not very many changes here. I don’t think there have been any updates. But the thing is, they put a lot of portable buildings out now.

Yeah, I can see. They did the same thing where I’m at.

But we had classes in the portable buildings, and didn’t think a thing about it.

I mean, as kids, you never would. You don’t know the difference as kids. It’s just that’s where the class is, that’s where you go.

That’s what you do, right. And we had some good teachers, and we had some lousy teachers. But again, we didn’t think too much about evaluating all of that.

I liked reading your book. I read it a few years ago as a pdf that was available online. And then I got the Blank Forms edition that I reread a couple of weeks ago.

Well, I’m really proud of the fact that they reissued that. I never really thought that that book would be published. It really wasn’t written to be. I’m not a writer. But they felt like it was worth it. 

I think it’s actually an essential book; certainly in terms of Jerry Hunt scholarship, there’s no question. But I really appreciated reading something that honest. It’s really difficult to look at yourself and be real about it. And I felt like reading it, I got a really good sense of who you were, and who Jerry was, at least at the time. Too many times, you read these autobiographies, and they’re inflated, you know. Or there’s a point of view that they’re trying to sell. But there’s no point of view [in your book]. It’s just like, “This is how it was.”

Well, I’m glad to hear you say that. And I think that that’s pretty much true. Pretty much.

“Pretty much.”

[Laughs].

Of course, there’s always a little ego involved. 

Yeah. 

And that’s okay. You need a little ego to tell you to do it in the first place.

But you know, even in addition to that, I don’t think any of us is able to know what really happened, and there may not even be a “what really happened.”

Oh, there’s definitely not. I firmly believe there’s no such thing as the truth, because we all have our different views of stuff. Certainly, the way I remember events from my childhood is not the way my best friend Nathan remembers events from our childhood, [which is] not the way my mom remembers an event from my childhood.

We never left Plato’s cave. We’re all manipulating shadows, dealing with shadows, remembering shadows. But that’s okay. I think that’s just the way we were made. But for me, writing the book, of course, was a way of holding on to Jerry, and a way of celebrating the life that we had together. But I gotta tell you, David—and you probably already know this—it’s so over. It’s so over. I mean, sure, I have the memories, and I have the gratitude. But my life now is all about Hal. It’s all about the next piece I’m going to learn on the piano, you know? I’ve very much moved along.

That’s good. I’m actually really happy for you. So many people end up mired in the past.

Yeah. And I could have been, and might have been, had things worked out differently. That’s the thing about Lawrence’s exhibit. It all opened this up again for me. Which had been pretty much put away. I tried to tell him that, you know, when he started asking me questions. I mean, this man is quite the researcher. Have you met him? 

We’ve communicated through email a few times, but we haven’t actually met. We were supposed to have a phone call last March, when I first heard about the Jerry Hunt stuff. I was already on their press release list for other reasons. I emailed him right away, and we started going back and forth. And we were supposed to have a call and talk about it, but with my dumb call center job, it’s so hard to do any of that stuff. It was super strict. I was not allowed to have any kind of personal time whatsoever during the day. And it’s because it’s all through computers, they could watch everything that was happening. We had seven seconds in between phone calls when it was busy. I will say, one thing I’m thankful for is that when Covid hit, at least it was something I could do from home. It took them a little while, but eventually they sent us all home, to work from home. Whereas if I’d been working in a restaurant, for instance, that’s not something you can do from home.

Just be glad you’re not a truck driver. I think it may be quite as bad as being a roofer. Being a truck driver must be the absolute worst. 

Brutal. 

The way they monitor you, and how little they pay you, and how much you have to do when you’re not moving. And if you’re not moving, you’re not being paid.

Right. My last job was like that, but at least I was sitting still. I didn’t have to deal with gas prices, or accidents, or whatever reason you can’t hop out and deliver on time. I think it’s nuts that we refuse to treat people like humans. But that’s the capitalist system, and everything has to get wrung out.

The article that I read recently about truckers said that that’s the reason—really the reason—for all these recent protests about vaccination. It’s not that the vaccination issue in and of itself is so important, it’s that it’s the last straw. The truckers had already had it up to here. And then here comes the vaccination record.

Right. And I can understand that. Obviously, I fully support the vaccines, but I can understand hitting a point where you just can’t take any more. I mean, that’s why I quit the last job. I hit a point where I just couldn’t take it anymore. And I was like, “Alright, bye.” And I was lucky enough to land on my feet instead of flipping burgers at McDonald’s. It could have just as easily gone that way.

And it does go that way for a lot of people. 

Oh, totally. But then I have to deal with the fact that I can’t get a job bagging groceries, for instance. I’ve been rejected from that job so many times in my life. Which I get, on a certain level, because they look at my resume, or they talk to me, and they just assume I’m gonna leave as soon as something better comes along. 

Yeah. 

But like, hello? It’s an entry level bagging job! This is not a career for anybody with what they pay you.

This is the crown jewel of the city. This is the Arboretum [Dallas Arborteum & Botanical Garden]. 

Oh, nice. 

It is superb. You just can’t believe how nice it is, how large it is, and how many beautiful plants. It was originally the mansion of a man named DeGolyer, who was a petroleum engineer with SMU, and he left his home and his gardens to the city, and the city has just made a masterwork out of it. And this is a really popular time of year.

I’m sure. I can see all the cars. The place is packed.

You have to have reservations. There’s no way to go there without online reservations in advance. 

That’s crazy. 

And then here’s our lake, White Rock Lake, with a view of the city.  

Is it a reservoir? 

It was built to be a water reservoir. It isn’t used that way anymore. There’s the old pump station down there, which has been transformed into an event facility. Hal and I love to come over here and bike. We bike around the lake. But it’s very, very popular on the weekends.

I’m sure. I have the same trouble with trails around Durham. You can go during the week, and it’s okay. On the weekends, unless it’s freezing cold, they’re going to be slam-packed. So, if it’s freezing cold, I’m out there hiking in Duke Forest or whatever, but then as soon as it’s above the 40s, it’s just people everywhere.

We were here last Sunday. We came over to bike, but we didn’t bike around the lake. We did the Santa Fe Trail. And I’ll show you down here, it heads off to the left. And you can bike all the way to downtown Dallas, which is what we did. It runs along the creek, along the side of the creek. And then when you get back after your ride, you can have a good lunch at the Ale House, which is what we did.

That’s great. That’s a good day right there. My knee doesn’t like bike riding as much. I twisted my knee coming off Santa Fe Baldy, literally right off the summit, and then had to walk however many hours down that mountain. Which had been fine for a couple of years, but about a year ago I went for a ride from my house to Duke East Campus and back—just six or seven miles, no big deal—and I was limping for two days afterwards. It doesn’t hurt when I ride. I have good form. You know, my knees aren’t splayed out at weird angles or anything strange. And that was the third or fourth time that it happened. And I just started going back to acupuncture, hoping that I can get that back again, because I miss riding the bike, even if it’s just a little casual ride. I don’t need to do 100-mile rides anymore.

I couldn’t. But that Santa Fe Trail goes in that direction. The lot… this is all going to be torn down. It’s going to become a high-rise multi-use facility, which of course I hate to see, anyway. 

There goes the neighborhood. 

Yeah. But then again, that is the neighborhood. That’s what people want.

And things change, and they should change.

And it’ll fill up, and it’ll improve the store selection over here. And what they’re doing here with the roadwork is they’re fixing what was a very awkward intersection, and they’re going to make it better.

I think every intersection in this town is awkward. [Laughs].

It is awkward. It’s because people won’t stop. Because they won’t wait. 

That thing where you’re getting off the highway, and the oncoming traffic is coming at you. I have questions. 

Issues. [Laughs].

I’m never gonna get answers, but I definitely have some questions. But I’m really curious about when they started building interstates in the 50s. At some point, there was the first traffic jam. Wherever that was, it happened at some point. And somebody was like, “So this thing happened. And the way we’re going to make it better is by adding more lanes, so more people come out on the roads.” I understand that the car companies, for instance, stopped a lot of public transportation from being built. Raleigh, North Carolina had trolleys in the 1950s, and the car companies, paid the City Council to rip them out, to encourage more people to buy cars. And I like my Subaru, it’s very dependable. But I would also be quite happy if I could take public transportation 90% of the time.

I’m the kind of person that’s just made for public transportation, because I’m always in the middle of a book. And I would just love to be able to sit down and let the driving be done. 

Obviously, I need something to transport the bass when I have music gigs. But, for instance, to get to work for me, it’s about three miles from my house. And I can cut, more or less, through town, so it’s like 15 minutes. It’s no big deal. But on public transportation, it’s an hour and a half. Because I gotta take one bus into downtown to the main station, and then wait, and then take the next bus out. And even though it’s not that far from the main station, it’s 25 stops on the bus line. And it’s definitely not an Express, you know? It’s a milk run that stops every three blocks.

Right. Yeah. Well, I went to college in Houston too. Of course, the thing about Houston, they were determined not to have public transportation for a long time, they just kept adding lanes, and kept expanding the roadways. And that’s the reason now that Houston has such a traffic problem. And it is probably the worst city in Texas for traffic. Austin is bad, but Houston is incredibly bad. Only recently, they’ve begun using public transportation. But you know what I’ve discovered? Uber! Uber’s wonderful. You meet people, and they usually know the area. It’s just it’s good experience. I’ve always had a good experience with Uber. 

I just saw that, in New York City, they’re now listing taxi cabs in an app, so you can do either one now. Because there was a real problem. [The cab drivers] pay a fortune for those medallions and those licenses to drive, and then Uber comes along. And there was a problem with taxi drivers committing suicide in New York, because you’re taking away their livelihood, and they’re half a million dollars in debt for the license to begin with. And many of them are immigrants who are all working 25 jobs to take care of their families. It’s what my grandfather did when he was a young man, and his father, before the depression.

It’s a shift. It’s a cultural shift in a way. You know, where we’re learning to accommodate things like Airbnb and Uber. They’re “off the grid,” so to speak, and the people that are on the grid and that are committed to the grid are having to learn to adjust, and accommodation is necessary.

I think some of those things are great. Like when we first moved to Santa Fe, we had to wait a week and a half to get into our apartment. So, we just got an Airbnb for a week and a half in this lady’s house up on Bishop’s Lodge. And we had a nice time, and every now and again I’d see her around town, and she’s just this person I know and interact with. She was basically the first person I met in Santa Fe.

We’ve enjoyed Airbnb. Not only here, but in Europe, it works great.

Sometimes I do appreciate a hotel though. I’m not gonna lie.

Well, that’s true. Because they’re simpler. 

Right? You don’t have to feel weird asking for more towels or whatever it is that you need.

The only bad experience we had was in Idaho one time where my sister’s family lives. There was no microwave. And I got in touch with the lady who rented it to us and said “Where is the microwave? We’ve looked everywhere!” She said, “Well, it’s not one of the amenities we offer.” And I said, “Well, it’s not an amenity, it’s a necessity!” [Laughs].

Yeah, at this point, basically.

That’s the only negative experience.

I travel with coffee stuff when I’m in the car. I have a pour-over, and I brought some coffee and I made good coffee for the people I was staying with this morning. I can deal without everything else in my life, but if I don’t have a decent cup of coffee in the morning, I will absolutely kill everybody.

I hear you, David. That’s one thing—that’s maybe the thing. That, and one Diet Coke a day. But that coffee is very important to me. And I read recently, and I do believe this, that the best coffee is the pour-over that you do slowly. 

That’s what I usually do. 

That’s the best coffee. That’s better than any maker they’ve created. And it’s simple.

And it’s been around forever. I have a Chemex, and Chemex was invented in 1940. It’s in the Museum of Modern Art, in their Industrial Design collection. And it’s great. I thought for a long time it was gonna be really complicated. And then when I started baking, our coffee company showed me how to do it, and I was like “What? It’s this easy?” I do it on a scale, but for years, I didn’t have a scale. I just did it by volume, with a Pyrex measuring cup.

This is the magnificent Swiss Avenue, where we rented the house for ten years, all through the 70s. There were these wonderful, grand homes, and the tree-lined streets, and the grassy mediums. It was just paradise living here. And it’s still paradise, if the time is right in your life to maintain a hunk of property like this.

It’s a beautiful street. These trees. Oh, I love the Crepe Myrtles in your yard, by the way. 

Oh, I’ll tell Hal.

Crepe Myrtles are funny to me because I don’t really feel one way or the other about the flowers and the leaves. But I love the trunks. And the wood is just so beautiful. And it feels good to touch.

The trunks are almost human, almost like tissue or muscle.

Yeah, very much so, maybe because they’re almost naked since they don’t have the thick bark like the oaks and everything else.

And they can take the heat, and they can take the drought, and they’re reliable. So, this was the house we rented. This brown house. 

[Sees dog] Oh, look at that little guy. 

Is that a Yorkie? Yorkshire Terrier?

Yeah, maybe. I’m kind of bad with my breed names sometimes. There’s like 10 that I can do really well; the rest of them, I have absolutely no clue. No wonder you guys liked this house. It’s huge.

We should back up a little bit if you take that picture, because you’ll see Jerry’s studio. 

In the back there? 

Uh-huh. That’s a garage apartment. And that’s where he and Houston Higgins set up their studio.

When Jerry was working, would he talk about his stuff with you, or would you just show up at the performance like everybody else and be surprised? I’m always curious about how people work.

I never understood what Jerry did… 

That’s not surprising…

…and I never much liked it. 

Oh, really? 

The only thing of his that I really liked was Song Drapes

Oh, interesting. 

And I don’t know why. Maybe because of the association with Karen Finley. But he got into what I would consider more “musical” music. [Laughs].

Oh, no, that makes total sense. Because his stuff is not “music,” in the traditional sense. 

And I am traditional. I’m a very traditional person about music and about a lot of things. But Jerry, one thing he did say, you know—and I think I might have put this in my book—he said “I have learned not to mention anything to Stephen about what I do, or even to play a tune that I’ve written, because if he likes it, I know it’s the kiss of death!” [Laughs].

That’s hilarious. I have this theory that companies should hire me to look at their products. And if I like it, they shouldn’t make it, because it’s just not going to sell well if I’m into it.

Well, it was really funny. So he did his thing, and he was off making these odd sounds, or he was at the piano doing this incredible stuff, when I really wanted him to play Brahms. But he did it, and then, of course I went to concerts and I traveled with him. We made a lot of trips together when he would give concerts in different places. And I would sit there, and I would just…I just couldn’t believe…

Like, “Oh my God, I share my bed with this man?”

Yeah! And yet, I felt it. I felt the intensity. I mean, the people that were there, the way they were responding, I picked up on that. And it really got me worked up.

I think that’s what really attracts me about Jerry’s work is that there’s something there, and it’s really obvious that there’s an energy transference happening. If he was just screwing off, you could tell, and it’s really obvious that it is not that.

Well, very often, at the end of it I would feel transformed, but chastened in some way. Or redirected. Maybe redirected is a better word.

I think that’s really important. Something I look for in music, and something I certainly hope that people get from my performances, is that they get moved. Maybe not far; it might just be an inch or whatever. But you need to be in a different place from where we started. And if you’re not, then I failed.

Well, that’s how I feel about most experiences I have with art, and music, and films, for sure. I don’t want to come out the way I was when I went in.

Right.

And I never did with Jerry. And there was another element too, David, that I was almost like his mother. When he performed, I wanted him to do well. And I wanted everybody to like it. And I wanted it to be a positive experience for him. And I could see that the people who came—

 sometimes there weren’t many of them—they were very much affected by what he did. And that made me really pleased for him, and happy for him.

I feel like it’s the kind of thing that as long as you don’t leave in the first ten minutes, you’re going to be a different person at the end of it. 

And many do [leave]. Many people walked out. And I hated to see that. I always felt so bad when I saw that.

A lot of people can’t open themselves up to new ideas, regardless of what that idea is, whether it’s religious, or musical, or political or whatever. I feel like a lot of people build walls. And that’s how they contain themselves. And if you try to remove a brick from that wall, sometimes they react really well to it, and sometimes they’ll rip your head off.

Sometimes people are just not in that place in their life. Or it’s not the right time. They’re not available, and you have to just give people the benefit of the doubt. But when I would sit in Jerry’s audiences, I didn’t want anybody to leave. I wanted everybody to, you know, just like I said…I was like a mother. I wanted that recital to go good.

I always actually kind of take it as a positive sign that people leave, because you’ve moved that person, maybe even in a negative way. 

Yeah. 

But they came, they took the time, maybe they spent the money to come in, and you moved them so much that they literally got up and left. 

That’s a very good way to look at it. 

And that counts. If I listened to something, and I truly hate it, I’m really intrigued, because that got an emotional reaction from me. And a lot of stuff doesn’t move me, you know? I’m just neutral on it. I don’t hate things, because there’s no use in really hating things. So, if you can make me hate something to the point that I want to get up and leave, then my butt’s sitting in that chair for another hour to see what I can learn from it.

Well, like you said, the worst reaction is the reaction where you just begin paging through the program. 

Oh, yeah

And I see that at the Symphony. I go fairly regularly to the Dallas Symphony, and there are a few people from time to time that, even in the most beautiful or most intense moments, they’ll pick up the program and start leafing through and I’m thinking “What’s happening?”

People are so funny, and it’s hilarious, too, you know, that that happens with Brahms, it’s not just like weird 20th century stuff. That happens during Mozart. And whatever, Mozart’s not everybody’s cup of tea, and that’s fine. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I pressed play on a Mozart album. But if I’m at the symphony, I would also be totally happy to hear a Mozart symphony.

We’re headed back now. We’ve had our little tour. We’re gonna go back a different way, for the variety of it. We lost our good cafeteria. That’s one of the sad things about the pandemic. You know, as a vegetarian, I’ve always appreciated cafeterias. 

I’m also a vegetarian.

They’ve gone now. They’re just too risky. People are afraid of buffets.

I thought the same thing. I was looking at various food options along the way on his trip, and a couple of times, things would pop up, like buffets and stuff and I’m [hesitant], because I used to go to Indian buffets all the time. But I still basically haven’t eaten inside a restaurant. I’ve been eating on patios or whatever, but I haven’t been inside. I ate in a place yesterday in Dallas called D’Vegan. It’s a Vietnamese place in this Vietnamese strip mall. But it was two in the afternoon, and I was by myself in the corner. There was nobody else there. So, I felt okay about it. 

Hal and I do enjoy eating out. And it’s one thing that we can do successfully, because his lunch hour is at 11 o’clock.

Of course. When you start at 6am, that’s how that works.

There’s usually very few people there at 11 o’clock, and we ate yesterday on the patio, a big patio, and I’m pretty comfortable. [distracted] They’re having some kind of… 

…farmers market or something? 

Yeah, yeah. Very often it’s more crafts and food. But it does say “tamales and farm fresh produce,” so… 

God, I love tamales. But finding vegetarian tamales is definitely a thing. 

Yeah, I get frozen ones, at Sprouts and Whole Foods. They’ve got some varieties, but occasionally, people will make them, like a three-cheese jalapeno Tamale. And I’ve had a good cream cheese tamale, believe it or not…

Like a sweet thing, a dessert-ish thing? I can see that.

Jerry used to make strawberry pecan tamales. They were good. How long you had been a vegetarian? 

My whole life. Actually, I was raised that way. I was raised to eat fish as a pescatarian. Just because when my mom became a vegetarian in the late 60s, this was the reasonable compromise she made with the fact that it was hard to be a vegetarian and go out and whatever. And so, I still eat sushi maybe twice a year. And I love it, but I never cook it. If I’m out in the restaurant and if there’s no good vegetarian options, I’ll have the fish just as a compromise.

Well, Hal and I have learned to accommodate one another. He is not a vegetarian. He is a real carnivore. He loves meat. And he did try being a vegetarian before I met him, but it just didn’t work out. 

Yeah. That’s fair. 

We cook our own meals, and we have our own parts of the refrigerator and the freezer, and it works out fine.

For the most part, I don’t care what other people eat. I’m not interested in forcing my views on other people. We can talk about it if you want to talk about it. Obviously, we know there’s an environmental impact to industrial animal farming at this point. And that’s a problem for me. But I also have no interest in telling somebody that they can’t eat meat, because that’s just not effective.

I agree, totally. But you know, there was a time in the late 60s, early 70s when Frances Moore Lappe’s Diet For a Small Planet came out Some of the first vegetarian cookbooks came out later, like [Mollie Katzen’s] The Enchanted Broccoli Forest and Moosewood Cookbook

Yeah, I know her stuff really well. I’ve eaten at the Moosewood restaurant In Ithaca.

There was a time during that period where we vegetarians believed that eventually the world would have to become vegetarian. Well, David, that hasn’t happened. And that’s not gonna happen.

I mean, honestly, if we didn’t have these giant corporations like Tyson paying to keep these messages out there that you should eat meat, and paying to keep it cheap, you know… because it is cheaper to be a meat-eater than a vegetarian, which doesn’t really make sense to me. But whatever. I mean, I understand the economics now. But I just find it mind-boggling, the way that we subsidize animal production in a way that we don’t for vegetable proteins.

This is a city-run, off-leash dog park, and it’s extremely popular. And the dogs can get in the water. There’s an area down there where the dogs are allowed to jump in the water. It may not be a very good thing, though, because the water is probably not very good for the dogs.

Because it’s toxic? 

Well, the problem here is that there’s so much fertilizer that reaches down into the water. 

We have the same problem with that in North Carolina. It’s a real problem. You get weird algae blooms and all kinds of strange things, not to mention the fact that most of that’s coming from some form of oil in the first place.

On one of my bike rides last week in Canton, I saw a beautiful little pond that is completely green now. And I’m thinking, well, no frogs, no turtles.

Yeah. It’s a problem when the waterways die. They can come back sometimes.

They can, and they can be helped. There was a wonderful article in the latest Scientific American about a stream in Washington State near Seattle that has been reclaimed. What happens with the developers bringing property so close to the edge of the water, to the edge of the streams and the rivers, the natural processes that can take place are hampered. 

Right, they don’t have the buffer zones that they need.

Right, and that don’t have the appropriate kind of banks, because the banks are often concreted and secured. So, there’s a group of people now led by some scientists that have gone in, and they’ve discovered that what’s essential to do is to clear everything out to allow the area that’s directly beneath the stream bed, or the riverbed, to regain its health. Because that area is extremely important. It goes several feet down below the actual water. And when you can get down into that area and clean it out, and you reintroduce organisms, it will come back. And they’ve done it so successfully, that they’re having salmon again. They haven’t had salmon in years. 

That’s a great indicator that something is alive in there. Because fish are shockingly picky about where they live. It’s so interesting how species have this very narrow window where they can do what they do. And if that window gets bumped one way or the other, you lose half the species, or all of the species, as the case may be. And we’re certainly bumping the windows pretty drastically these days.

Yeah, and there are so many sad stories. So much bad news. So, I love reading articles like that from time to time about reclamation, and about people that have got a sense of “Let’s correct some of the problems and make things better.”

I have friends who keep talking about how one day we’ll invent technology to solve the carbon problem in the atmosphere, for instance. And I’m like, what about human history makes you think that this is going to be used equitably? You know? Or that this is going to be used as a way to benefit everybody? It’s going to be just like oil, but it’s going to be a different thing. Whoever’s in control of that stuff is going to be in control of everything. And clearly, we can’t even agree to give the vaccines to poor countries. So, we’re certainly not going to give them carbon capture technology, or whatever it is that ends up coming around.

I’m so surprised by the vaccine issue. I never would have thought that it would have been such a divisive issue. My sister has two children, and of course grandchildren, and all of them have refused to be vaccinated. They live in North Idaho. My sister and her husband were vaccinated because they’re in their seventies. But the younger people just don’t want to do it. They don’t believe that it’s their thing. They think it’s risky. 

They never know anybody that’s had polio, for instance. I’ve worked with people who’ve had polio. Certainly, many of my favorite musicians have had polio: Joni Mitchell, Charlie Haden. Charlie Haden died from post-polio syndrome 50 years later. It’s just mind- boggling to me. And I understand maybe waiting to make sure it’s safe. That makes total sense to me. But we’re at a point now where hundreds of millions of people have had it and it’s pretty clearly safe for 99.8% of the people. I had Covid in February of 2020. And that shit was fucking miserable. I have never been that sick in my entire life. 

That’s what I’ve heard. 

I hit a point—and I’ve never felt this at any other time in my life—where I was like, if I don’t feel better tomorrow, I have to go to the hospital. And thankfully, I felt a little bit better the next day. But it’s two years and almost two months later, and my taste still hasn’t returned. 

Really?

I can taste most things. But there’s like maybe 10% of my taste is missing, like I can’t tell the difference between a lime and a lemon anymore. I can tell that it’s citrus, but if you blindfolded me and gave me a glass of lemon juice and a glass of lime juice. I don’t know if I could tell you the difference. 

Sorry to hear that. 

And there’s a couple of other little things like that, which, as a food person, drives me insane, but at least I can still taste most things. 

We’re stopping here because I’ve got to go to the bathroom.

[conversation continues after a short pause]

…Mine is a 2017 Subaru. I don’t have quite this big of a screen here, but I have a smaller screen, and I need to get the audio software updated. Because my phone is now well more advanced than the software here. So, I emailed Subaru National, just their generic email Help Desk, and I gave them the information for what’s installed. I found where it’s installed, I’ve tried erasing and factory-resetting it, I found the Update button, I know where the USB plug is. And I’m like, “Can you just email me this software?” Because this is something I got used to at Apple; [with Apple], you can plug your phone into the computer and download the new software. You don’t have to go to the store or anything. And Subaru National wouldn’t even confirm for me if I had the latest version of the software or not. They’re like, “You have to talk to your dealer.” So of course I put it off for a year, because who wants to deal with the dealership if you don’t have to deal with it? And about three weeks ago, I was bored at work, so I pull up the Durham dealership, and there’s little chat box where you can ask for help. So I pop in there, I tell them what’s going on, I give them the information for the current version that’s installed. And I asked the same question. I’m like, “Can you guys just email me this software, please? I know how to use a thumb drive.” And they were like, “Well, somebody will get back to you.” And of course, nobody’s gotten back to me. And I’m like, come on, guys. This is not complicated. It’s so easy. But I don’t want to take a day to go to the dealership and wait however long and wait for them to plug in the USB stick and update for me. Whereas if I had a 2018 model, it has WiFi, so you can just park it in your driveway, connect to the WiFi, and it updates automatically. And I’m like, come on. Because you know if it was brake pads, it wouldn’t be a problem getting my brake pads taken care of. And I get it, from working that tech support job. I was often on the phones with people at dealerships, asking “Why isn’t [the customer’s] Apple CarPlay working with the new whatever car?” And, to be fair, cars are so technological at this point, and a lot of these guys are not necessarily technological people. you know? They can fix my alternator or whatever else is going on, but that doesn’t mean they understand this. This is a whole separate set of knowledge. And the software is written in a way to be complicated on purpose. They do that because they don’t want to get pirated or whatever. And it’s like, who’s going to do anything with Subaru software? It does you no good, unless you have this very particular type of thing. I don’t know, but it’s just so funny, because it’s literally the kind of thing that would take two minutes if they would email me the software. And they’re never gonna email it to me. I’m gonna have to take a day and go to the dealership. At least my job allows for that. But what a dumb thing.

We all encounter things like this all the time. You know, it’s just frustrating, the idea of things leapfrogging. I keep thinking of the leapfrogging metaphor, because we keep moving forward, and we’re moving so fast, but we’re not quite there, ever. We never quite get there.

I sort of feel like we’re running in a circle in a weird way, because we keep moving, but we’re not actually going forward. 

Exactly. Well, I will say one thing about the Subaru. I mean, this is my third Subaru. I love the cars.

Me too, aside from the stupid audio problem!

I really resented all of the interaction [between] me and this car. It’s built in. It wants to monitor everything I do, and I really resented that at first. I even resented having to use the camera to back up. I wanted a car with windows that are big enough that you can see out in every direction so that I can look around and I don’t have to depend on the camera. Well, they don’t offer that anymore. But let me tell you, David, I have learned to appreciate it. I feel like I’m doing a better job driving now using my camera. 

Yeah, I’ve come around to the camera as well. 

And I’ve also come around to the interaction thing. The car will tell me “The car ahead has moved,” you know, “get your butt in gear!” I need to be told because I’m gawking over here! 

What year is this car? 

It’s a 2021.

I think my mom has the same model because she has the sensors up here for the lane changes.

It will automatically brake if I come up [behind] somebody too fast. It’s got a cruise control that could totally drive for you. It slows down; the cruise control slows down when it needs to, and then it regains its speed when it can, so you don’t even have to get involved with the cruise control. 

Mine definitely doesn’t have any of that stuff because it’s a few years before that became standard.

Like I said, I resented it at first, and all of the beeping that it does. You don’t put your seatbelt on, it beeps. 

First thing I did in my car when I got it was turn all of that stuff off as much as possible.

Well, and if you still don’t put your seatbelt on, it beeps louder, and it turns your radio off!

Oh, interesting. 

So, it’s telling you: “I’m serious about this, little buddy!”

That’s fair. I’ll accept that for seatbelts, because seatbelts are very important.

My conclusion is that this car has made me a better driver. It has improved me. Because I had gotten to where I felt like I knew how to drive. I’ve been driving 100 years! I don’t need to be told! But apparently I did, because I was getting pretty sloppy. I was pulling up too close on people. I was impatient with people, you know, and the car is saying “Uh-uh. Be mature!”

… [short discussion of familial health issues, removed to preserve privacy of those discussed]

This is part of my work: designing websites that teach people with dementia and their caregivers. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this stuff. And just reading about people and their experiences and how they’re dealing with it. And the fact that even though many times they’re willing to do it, it’s basically a full-time job, and they might also be working a regular full-time job on top of it. I mean, we definitely don’t do a good job of taking care of elderly people, especially if they don’t have money. And it just becomes this whole other thing. So part of the reason this website’s being built, and being studied, is to help people get over that hump. Because so many people won’t take the time to do it. Or they won’t take the time to get the documentation to allow the caregiver to do what they need to do. Especially if they’re not legally married. That becomes a huge problem. Certainly, in the gay community it becomes a problem, and it has been forever, you know, when it comes to end of life care and all that kind of stuff.

Well, when I exercise at home in Canton, I listen to books on tape or CD. And I’ve listened to two books now by Atul Gawande. And the latest one I’m listening to now is called Complications. And it’s all about things that go wrong in an attempt to care for people, medically. And there have been many, many stories that he tells about the things we’re talking about: end of life care and care-givers, and all that kind of thing. And I’ve learned so much. He’s a good writer, and he does everything through anecdotes. He tells about individual people whose names he changes, and that gets you engaged. And so you listen and, you know, it’s a good formula. But he’s talking about how often it is, particularly in teaching hospitals, that you’re going to be served by an intern or a student. Sometimes they’ll let you know, and sometimes they won’t. And if people knew, they wouldn’t approve of it. They wouldn’t like it. They would say “No, no, I want a real doctor. This is my body! Come on, man!” And yet it’s built into the system. It has to happen. Otherwise, nobody will ever learn. So, the other day, I’m at the dentist’s office and I had to have a crown replaced, which is one of the things that will happen to you if you live long enough, and there was an intern who put the new crown on. And the dentist came in and he said, “I’m going to be working with this young lady here. She’s an intern. Do you do you mind if she does the work?” And I said, “No, it’s fine with me.” Well, it took a lot longer… 

Well, that’s not surprising. 

She was not steady and secure. She was tentative. But she got the work done. And she put on her first crown. And it was thanks to my willingness to let her do it. And it all worked out great. But I’ve been thinking about that. I’m wondering about people that I’ve known over the years that had been in hospitals, how many of them have been served by interns.

I had hernia surgery few years ago from all these physical labor, restaurant jobs, and bookstore jobs and stuff, and one of the last things I remember before they gassed me out of my brain was one of them coming in, and they had a medical student with them, this little pixie lady named Emily. And the last thing they asked was, “Do you mind if Emily watches?” Because it’s a teaching hospital. And I was like, “Nope.” And then they hit me with the Propofol, and I have no idea what happened after that until I woke up later. But these people have to learn. It’s really essential. And they are only going to learn by doing and by watching.

But yeah, you know, you can imagine a situation that you could be in…

Oh, my mom would not have been okay with that.

Like with a brain tumor: it’s very, very delicate. And a surgeon has to do it for the first time. And, of course, being a vegetarian, and being a PETA member, I really have such an issue with the use of animals in research. 

Same.

And of course, goats are so commonly used for heart surgery, and Gawande talks about that, about how “Well, I’ve done it on several goats,” and I think “Oh, no!” 

I know. I feel like the amount of suffering that it brings the animals really bothers me, and I would like them to stop all forms of animal testing, by all means. But at the same time…

You’re lying on the gurney, and here they come for you. And they’re going to use a technique that’s been perfected on goats, and you want that technique used on you.

I know they practice stitches on pig’s feet, because it’s a similar skin. And it’s a similar kind of thing to a human. And I’m glad somebody’s practicing somewhere else. And I’m sure that pig’s foot came from a slaughterhouse that they’re killing for the meat, anyway. But that’s a whole other problem. 

Well, the latest thing that I read this last week is about autopsies, and how they’ve become very much less common now. People are willing and able to stand up and say, “No, I don’t want an autopsy done.” So, there again, that’s one of the ways that medical students have been learning, and it’s not a bad thing that we figure out what’s gone wrong, and how to prevent that from happening again. I just really enjoy his work, but I’m not going to do anything more medical now, for a while, I’ve had enough.

I hope you don’t have to. It’s interesting watching people I know get older. Not my parents, but musicians that I started playing with 20 years ago when I was in college. And they were in their 40s or 50s then, so now they’re in their 60s and 70s. And it’s different because they’re not family, you know? They’re friends. And it’s just very interesting, watching those changes, and just seeing how that all works, and how different it is for everybody. My grandfather died at 93, and he was basically fine up until the last six months. He had his moments with things or whatever, but mentally, he was there. And physically, he was basically fine until the end. And then you have people who just fall apart at 35, and they stay falling apart for however much longer they may live. 

Well, at my age, I’ve lost so many people, and it’s almost as bad as it was during AIDS, when all your friends died. Now, everyone that I’ve known for decades seems to be going. There are very few people left now that are my age, or near my age, that I’ve known for a long, long time, and I really miss them. But I have to tell you, it’s not hardened me—I hope I’m not hard—but I’m not surprised. I’m no longer surprised. And maybe that’ll mean that I won’t be so surprised when my turn comes. And I hope that’s true. I don’t want to be too surprised. Because I gotta do it!  

Yeah, it comes for everybody eventually.

A new little coffee shop has opened up here. They had a car show, and Hal and I brought two of his vintage cars over here for their car show last year. That was fun. He’s got a ‘77 Olds that he’s proud of.

It’s a real skill to be able to restore a car.

Well, I like looking into old cars and looking in the interiors and seeing how the interiors were set up. You know, what a different world it was when you reached over and turned the knob. The further you turned it, the louder it got.  

I do enjoy the conveniences of digital life, by all means, but I really do miss turning knobs.

And the satisfaction that you get when you hear that click. And it’s a real click, not a recorded click.

I love finding stuff from the 60s and 70s, you know, when the builds are still real, and even if they’re digital, the knob is still a real knob, you know? Like, something happens, you turn it, and it clicks to come on, it clicks to go off.

It’s very satisfying. 

Very satisfying. Whereas like, you know, touchscreens are great, but it’s just not the same thing, tapping on a touchscreen. And I like how they try to fake it sometimes, like how they’ll make it vibrate, like when you’re typing on the keyboard on your phone or whatever. 

[Laughs].

And that stuff drives me up the wall. Because it’s nothing like typing on a keyboard. I don’t need any of that.

Well, when I was making money to go back to school at one point, I got a job at an insurance company, and I was what they call a Correspondence Clerk. I wrote letters. And I had an IBM electric typewriter with a wonderful font. It was so fast, and so responsive. And I just loved typing on that thing. And I’d put a lot more work into the letters than they would have approved of, had they known. I enjoyed the writing aspect of it. I enjoyed using my machine. I would even be witty!

All the things you shouldn’t say in an insurance letter!

You couldn’t get away with that now, for sure.

I’m just old enough that I learned to type on an actual typewriter, but just barely. We had computers when I was in school, but you still learned on a typewriter.

How old are you? 

41. 

I would have said 30s.

It’s because I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink much. I don’t smoke anymore. I haven’t had a cigarette in 15 years, and I don’t eat fast food. All that stuff makes a big difference. 

It does. You know, David, I feel like I’m doing as well as I am because of my vegetarian diet.

It’s huge. I think people really underestimate the change that that makes in their life. Because it’s the kind of change like [the way] people aren’t concerned about polio anymore, because we’ve dealt with it. You know, it’s no longer a problem. And I feel like the change to being a vegetarian for so many people is subtle. It might take you ten years before you really start seeing the results, or it might take you becoming older and watching your friends who haven’t made that change, and what they’re dealing with. So, I feel like a lot of people might try it, but because it’s not an instantaneous thing, a lot of people drop it without thinking about the fact that it really does need to be a ten-year, fifteen-year process.

Well, this is one of the things I’m grateful to Jerry for. He’s the one that sort of instigated our becoming vegetarian back in 1970. And he kept me to it, because I would sneak in the bacon. Hard to give up that bacon.

Yeah, I understand it, because that’s what a lot of my friends say. Since I grew up without that stuff, it’s never been a thing for me. It doesn’t taste good to me. Every now and again— thankfully, it doesn’t happen often—but, you know, you bite into something and realize there’s meat in it. And it just doesn’t taste pleasant for me, because I don’t have the association of getting up in the morning and mom making me bacon, and all the happiness that goes along with that.

Plus the stock issue. You know, I know a lot of things I get have chicken or beef stock in them, like the rice sometimes at Mexican restaurant.

Oh, for sure. Chicken broth, all the time. 

And Hal will say “Wanna try some rice?” and I’ll have a spoonful or two, and it’ll taste good. But it’ll taste off.

Yeah. And that’s exactly how it tastes to me: like there’s something wrong with it.

But I don’t panic, you know. Because I did eat meat for over 20 years.

Yeah, being raised as a nominally Jewish vegetarian in the South was definitely an interesting experience.

So Menestres is a Belgian name?

It’s Belgian, yeah. I was told it’s Spanish, if you go back far enough, but like 500 years far enough, not like yesterday. Which makes sense. My dad actually looks totally Latino to me sometimes.

Well, it’s been a pleasure to…

Tony Levin

phone interview on October 3, 2017 at 3:00pm.

TL: Hello?

DM: Hi this is David Menestres, I’m trying to reach Tony Levin.

TL: Hi David, it’s me and I appreciate that you are exactly on time.

DM: Oh man this is great! Sorry. You have a few minutes to talk?

TL: I do. I’m actually in a record session in a studio that doesn’t have phone reception so five minutes ago I waked outside where I can get reception and boom, you’re right on time, I appreciate that.

DM: Absolutely. Can I ask what you’re recording at the moment?

TL: It’s an album for somebody unknown and it’s in my area of Woodstock, NY.

DM: Ah, cool.

TL: That’s kind of what I do when I’m home. Sometimes you get lucky and have a nice record session, make some good music.

DM: Yeah, absolutely. So…

TL: You’re in Raleigh?

DM: I’m actually in Durham which is twenty miles up the road but close enough. Let’s see. Oh, and I’m also a bass player so I’m trying not to be a…

TL: Oh nice!

DM: …total nerd here, but you know.

TL: (laughs)

DM: So I guess let’s start at the beginning. How did music become part of your life? I know your brother is also a pretty well known musician. Was it something that was in your household growing up? Did your family members play?

TL: Yeah, our parents encouraged playing an instrument and finding an instrument you liked. I’m very lucky both that my older brother was and is a very good musician so I had his example to watch, and I’m lucky that I chose the bass at a young age. I didn’t really have a reason but after playing piano for a few years I said “I’d like to play that instrument” the bass and it’s one of those lucky decisions because now, so many, many years later, I say that with a smile on my face, because I’ve just been playing the bass all these years and I’m still very satisfied and challenged actually with playing the bass.

DM: I obviously feel a similar connection to the thing, I completely understand. It’s its own different thing. You grew up playing music and then you went to Eastman, right, for classical studies?

TL: Yeah. I started in classical, although I liked jazz, but I started in classical and then after being at Eastman for a while, I was at Eastman and I was playing in the Rochester Philharmonic, I could see that I wasn’t that thrilled being in an orchestra and I started playing jazz and soon after I started playing rock and again, I was a little lucky, and I moved to New York City back when there was a need for studio players and I kind of unwillingly fell into that profession, doing studio records, but what I found that I really liked to do and wanted to do was to go out and play live shows on the road, with jazz or rock. And I did more and more of that and less studio work as my career progressed. I’ve done an awful lot of records, and I didn’t dislike doing the records, but I’m saying my true joy and true love is playing rock shows live and sharing that experience with the audience.

DM: Sure, and doing studio work is a very different thing than playing in an active band that changes and evolves and does its own thing. When did you first meet Robert Fripp? How did you get the King Crimson connection?

TL: My memory is not great but that’s an easy question for me to answer because on the same day I met Peter Gabriel, I met Robert Fripp.

DM: (laughs)

TL: It was July 1976 and Peter was doing his first solo album, named “Peter Gabriel” but they were all named that. He had just left Genesis and a producer named Bob Ezrin who liked my playing and had used me on Alice Cooper and Lou Reed, and he joined me up with Peter. I did not know Peter, I did not know Genesis, I did not know King Crimson, and it’s an extraordinary day for me. I don’t remember what date it was, but if you can imagine I met both Peter and Robert that July of ’76, and I’m still very engaged with making music with them both after all these years.

DM: That’s basically the definition of a good day. One of the things I was curious about, and I noticed when you joined King Crimson in 1981, the credits changed from the songs being credited to individual people in the band to changing to just “music by King Crimson,” which as a musician I like the idea that it evolved into more of a collaborative thing. I was curious how, how does the writing process go in the band? And how do you, or how do songs evolve in the group?

TL: Well it was different on each song, but generally Robert would bring in a piece or Adrian would bring in the piece. It was pretty rare that Bill Bruford or I brought in one, although there were a few examples of that. So generally they would bring it in, it could be pretty done and the other guys only had to fill in their part, or it could have room for exploration and “Crimsonizing it” in quotes which is what we would do to change things drastically and it was one of the principles Robert introduced me to in running a band, to share the publishing equally. Not all bands do that, and there’s no perfect solution. One guy in the band wrote the, you know, you’re a musician, but for people who don’t know, if one person wrote the music and has the publishing, if that record happens to sell a lot, that person makes a whole lot of money from that that the other guys in the band don’t. So that’s not perfect but then if one person did all the writing and had to share ¾ of the money from that with other guys, then that’s not a perfect solution either. Crimson has chosen the later and I think it’s done it through the whole existence of the band, Robert is the expert at that, but I know that that’s to be the most equitable solution I know of for what is a problematic solution in any band, but only if they’re going to sell a lot of records. Now today we don’t sell a lot of records so the publishing is less crucial then it used to be.

DM: Right. I’m sure Discipline gets heavy rotation on MTV these days.

TL: (laughs) Well in the day, generally, it varied from album to album, but generally you’d make about equal amounts from the artist royalties, in other words from being in the band, and from owning the publishing. So it was half your income. It was pretty important stuff.

DM: Yeah, absolutely.

TL: And let me say that I know bands that have broken up or have become very unhappy with each other because of different approaches to that publishing solution. I don’t really love talking about the business side of music, the other side, just the making of music is what I love and that incarnation of King Crimson in the early ‘80s was very influential to me musically and really pushed me to challenge myself as a player, something I’ve been doing ever since, especially in the King Crimson context, and that to me is more important than all the publishing in the world.

DM: Yeah. I was listening to, in preparation for this, I went back and started listening to some of the albums I haven’t listened to in a few years, particularly in the early ‘80s work, and that music is so amazing. It sounds so completely different than the music that was out at the time and was popular, but it shares some of the similar qualities of the darkness and weirdness of the early ‘80s in New York and New York kind of falling apart but it’s also just very wonderful, forward looking music and I feel like it’s very, obviously we call this stuff progressive rock at this point, but it’s not, I feel like the musicianship is in service to the music and not the other way around like so many of the other prog groups where it’s…

TL: That’s what we’re trying to do.

DM: Yeah. “Look how many notes I can play!” kind of thing. 

TL: That’s what we’re trying to do. And with Crimson it’s a subject that comes up a lot, at least with me, we’re trying to actually be progressive, and not, as in the ‘80s, we were trying to not do what we had done before, and now, many years later, we’re still busy trying to not do what we did before. That’s not to say we’re always successful in that, but that’s the adventure, that’s one of the challenges, and it puts you in a different place than a band that plays its old music the way it did before because that’s an easy situation for the audience, and therefore they can have a potentially bigger audience, but Robert Fripp and Crimson chose to at least try to keep progressing our music.

DM: Honestly, I’d probably find the band a lot less interesting if you weren’t doing that. I want to hear a song evolve and change, I want to see a band that at least tries to move forward over time. The current tour, that’s the 8-piece band?

TL: Yep.

DM: Ok good, just checking to make sure I got it right,

TL: Yes, we’re eight now.

DM: That’s amazing.

TL: Yeah, we can talk about it. The biggest feature, the most obvious feature, for people who come to the show, is we have three drummers, and once again King Crimson has done something that is quite unusual. And the approach of the drummers is not the normal approach, they do not bang the same part as each other, they worked out very elaborate strategies, sometimes different strategies from within one song, to break up the already complex drum parts and to have it be an interesting show. Frankly, I stand on a riser behind them, the drums are across the front of the stage, and frankly it’s an interesting show for me from my vantage point because I get to watch the drummers, it’s challenging and interesting what they do. So that’s the main feature that you can’t miss when you see the new line up, but we also have Mel Collins back playing flutes and saxes, he was in a much earlier incarnation of King Crimson, and that gives it a different sound. In other words not all of the solos are on guitar the way they were in the ‘80s when I joined the band. It’s a little bit more jazzy, its got that option with the saxophone sound. And also there is a lot of power with two guitar players playing and someone else soloing. We also have at some times three people playing keyboards which gives us a bigger palate of sound in a more orchestral situation then we’ve had before. So it’s interesting, it’s hard to describe in detail the way the band will sound, but it’s quite an interesting performance. If we’re allowed, we’ll play three hours with an intermission and we play so darn challenging music and people, the sense I have, is people go away having enlarged their palate of what they’ve heard musically. Usually some surprises for everybody, including us on stage.

DM: That’s always the goal. It’s always interesting when you figure out how to surprise yourself, especially when you’re playing stuff that you’ve played so many times.

TL: The pieces, some pieces, are pretty set the way they are. As a bass player, as you know, I have the option of changing some notes, that’s okay, but the piece in general is set but there’s some improv in the set and some nights we do quite free improvisation. In fact, usually before we go on stage, after sound check, Robert creates some music he calls “Soundscapes” string quartets, and that’s playing as the audience comes in. Later, when we come on stage, we can hit the first piece straight or we can start to play along with those improvs, or just one or two of us. Sometimes I reach the bass first and I start playing along with that. So there is an element of improvisation within our set and that’s pretty important to us. 

DM: Just out of curiosity, what’s your technical set up? What instruments are you playing on this tour?

TL: A little less than I was. Last year I was playing 5-string bass and 4-string bass. This year for some reason the sound of the 4-string bass is just working best for me with all those drummers, I don’t know why. So I play 4-string bass. I also have the electric upright, which I play either with a bow or plucked, and I also play the Chapman Stick, which is a touch-guitar style instrument with 12 strings, with bass strings and guitars strings. Needless to say, I’m not needed much on the guitar end of things with two guitar players, excellent guitar players, in the band. But I play bass strings of the Stick and it has an unusual percussive sounds so I’m able to get a different feel from the bass when I play that instrument. And notably I played it on some of the past repertoire, King Crimson’s, so I can pull it out for those pieces. That’s about it. I play 4-string bass, electric upright, the NS electric upright, and the Chapman Stick.

DM: Do you use any pedals at all? One of the things I’ve always liked about…

TL: I use so many pedals I’m hard pressed to remember them all. I also switch them out, not just each tour, but each leg of the tour, so for instance, next week we’ll go to Austin and we’ll have a whole week of rehearsing. King Crimson very conscientious. Even though we’ve toured a lot this year, and we could get by with one day of rehearsal, we will rehearse a whole week and bring in some new material and things like that, during which I might switch out pedals. I’ll have probably the option of, I don’t know, 20-30 pedals in my case and I’ll see what works best. I generally use compression a lot, fuzz tone, B-2 or B-3 fuzz tone, and I go through an amp-modeler, that I can also add effects on that. I use echo sometimes, not too much in King Crimson, and there could be some other things I’ve forgotten. Some chorus things, a good assortment of pedals.

DM: I just have a couple more questions and then I’ll let you get back to your day. Out of curiosity, do you still make the thunderfingers?

TL: Oh, Funkfingers! They are better than ever. A fellow, a bass player I know, who is an inventor and much a better mechanic/engineer than me, asked if I’d mind he’d start making them a few years ago. So now they’re offered online and they’re better. He puts a little tiny weight at the end of the drum stick, which really makes it better to play. I don’t know why, I vastly prefer his version to mine. I call them “Funkfingers” and for those that don’t know, they’re drumsticks, of chopped up drum sticks, one can attach to one’s fingers with Velcro and get a very percussive attack on bass, which along with some compression, sounds pretty good. I use them quite a bit on this tour with King Crimson.

DM: I was also curious about how you use the internet and interact with fans. You’ve had a blog on the internet since ’96, since before blog was even a word for anybody. How has that changed and evolved for you over the years?

TL: I haven’t changed as often as I should, because I got stuck writing code, probably like an older guy. I started the website in the mid-90s, early 90s, and, even though I started it, I’m not sure exactly why, I think mainly to sell my solo records, but I quickly realized something wonderful was going on, that people were coming to my site to notice what I had said about being behind the scene at rock shows or even better, taking pictures of them. So I stop trying to sell the records and I just made it what later became a blog, there was no such word then, and I still very much feature as many photos as I can take of the audience, so they can, if nothing else, see how wonderful they seem to those of us on stage. And that’s been a nice feature of the web, but like I said, in the beginning I was writing the code and as years went by, everything got different but my coding didn’t, so it was quite a bit behind at times, but now, about two years ago, I finally switched so now it’s viewable on mobile devices and it looks a little different than it was. I mostly use it just to communicate. It’s a shame there’s a wall between us, which does not happen when I play with Stickmen or in a small rock band like that in clubs, we just go out and say hi to everybody after the show, and that’s fine. But with King Crimson, with Peter Gabriel, we do big shows and you just can’t say hi to everyone after the show, so there’s this unnecessary wall and the web, or my website anyway, has taken down a little bit of that, in eliminating some of the distance that we don’t really need to have among us.

DM: Are you currently working on any solo projects? Or anything that would be under the Tony Levin name in the future?

TL: I’m in the early stages of a bunch of projects. So many that I don’t want to start talking about them, and frankly, I’ve learned through the years that it’s better not to talk about something that’s not coming out soon because it might not come out and then you look a little bit foolish, “Hey whatever happened to that great record you said was coming out?” So I’m in the writing process of solo music and Stickmen, the band I’m in, and King Crimson as a band is always composing things. And I’m working on, I take a lot of photographs, not just for the web, but I take them on the road, and I’m working on some releases of those photographs. And that’s it. I’m not working on another book at the moment. I’ve put out a few books, the most recent about two years ago, and that’s about it, that’s what I’m working on.

DM: OK. One more question, two related parts sort of. What are you currently listening to at the moment? And what was the most recent thing you heard that just completely blew you away?

TL: Great question. I don’t have a wonderful answer because I spend a lot of time making music and my listening time seems to mostly be doing homework, we call it home work. In other words, things I need to learn for upcoming tours, or things I need to check out to see what the bass part was, so unfortunately that’s mostly what I’m doing. The band that’s excited me most in the last two years is called Sleepytime Guerrilla Museum, very radical wonderful band. I think they reformed with different memebers, and probably great now, but I haven’t even had time, I’m a fan and I haven’t had time to check them out lately, but that’s a band that excited me and inspired me in the way I want to write my music some, so that’s an example of that. I think, if I’m writing, let’s say I’m taking a long drive and I have a lot of time on my own, I actually need silence a lot and I’ll have music paper next to me and I’ll stop and write down ideas of my own. When I play music, it’s very likely to be classical music, just to take my mind off the rock scene, and put me in a good place so I can have some ideas to write. So I’m sorry it’s not a more wonderous answer, with three or four groups, and I know and appreciate that there’s a lot of great music being made, but I’m not the guy who’s on top of the scene in knowing what’s going on.

DM: No, that’s great. That’s actually the answer I was expecting. I would have been more surprised if you’d been able to spit out your five favorite bands of the last six months. Just because as a musician I know you got to take the breaks and just let your ears kinda breath.

TL: Your ears and frankly even in King Crimson it’s a tremendous amount of homework. We have a gigantic catalog now that we play. Like I mentioned, next week we’re going to be rehearsing and we’re going to add over material, either new or from classic Crimson that I have never played. So I need to be up and running on them and I need to get back to being up and running on what we did on the last tour leg. Yes it does involve some homework. 

DM: I’m sure. I could see Robert Fripp as a schoolmaster you know, an unhappy school master….

TL: Yeah, yeah. When we got out of school we thought we were done doing homework and it’s different than school because if it’s something you love, it should, the homework is not the best word for it.

DM: That’s right.

TL: Legwork or something like it. It’s something you love, you enjoy doing it and spend all hours doing it. It’s not quite like homework but it is something that must be done for me. And it does take away from just listening to whatever that most people have.

DM: Great. I think that covers everything I had and it should be more than enough.

TL: Thank you. I appreciate your wonderful questions. They’re very nice and it helps me a lot to answer some questions. And good luck with your bass playing and your music.

DM: Thank you. I appreciate it. And I look forward to the show in couple of weeks.

TL: Well thank you. That’ll be great. Take care

DM: Thanks. Have a good one. Bye.
