Guitars from old New York

[Pottel]

Just checked. Yes, MK did do an interview for SONGTALK. Vol 2 Issue 13 for Spring 1990, pp 3, 40 and 41. He talks about Dylan in the course of the interview.

The same issue has an interview with Mick Taylor, too. He says of touring with Bob: It was great. I enjoyed working with him more than anyone else I've ever worked with in my career.

There's also Part One of a hugely long interview with Paul Simon, plus something with Art G.

do you have that, or can you somehow obtain and share it here twm?

[twm]

Yes, I do have it and I'm very happy to share it.

SONGTALK was a tabloid-size newspaper rather than a magazine and the interview covers three pages. What I would have to do is to take them into town to get the A3 sheets copied to A4 size, then to scan the A4 pages at home.  Also, I can't seem to get images on to the site (I have tried before and failed) but I could, for example, send the images to you, Pottel, as attachments to an e-mail and you could post them on AMIT.

Of course, I could scan the pages in bits but that would be very messy to read. The way I've suggested should produce a better overall result.

Can I take it that this is "new" to MK collectors?

[Pottel]

i cannot remember ever seeing it, but that does not mean jack s.

[twm]

Sorry for the delay. Just managed to get tickets for Roger Daltrey with Paul Weller at the Albert Hall at the end of March but failed to get Macca tickets for the following night. It took time.

OK then, would you like me to do what I suggested?

[Pottel]

yes, pls do proceed in the proposed manner (the one that involves "me") :-)

[twm]

OK. I have to go into town this afternoon, with a tight schedule of appointments and things, but I'll try to fit the photocopying bit in.

Perhaps the guitar freaks out there would like this:

Thanks for all the interesting links. The Zollo interview was very entertaining, Bob is a remarkable eclectic rambler and is full of contradictions. Makes me feel like reading Chronicles again.

Is there a link to this? Or a way of buying the magazine?

[twm]

If it is just the MK interview that interests you, then I have scanned it and sent the scan to Pottel, who will try to post it somewhere accessible.

Just to whet your attitude.....

At the very end, MK is asked about "Secondary Waltz" (this was the first part of 1990) and MK says, I just found the words again (suggesting perhaps that the lyric was quite an old one). I think of schooldays. It's never been recorded. I should write a tune for it. How did you hear about it? Paul Zollo says that someone mentioned it to him and he was intrigued. MK: Yeah. It's about sadistic gym teachers. The interview then ends with laughter.

[Pottel]

Will post it later today. It is a reaaaaal good interview!
