ALAN: Oh yeah I love it. L.A. on the other hand I find a bit too laid back, it's not for me. In fact I was there in Frisco in '76 with Tony or should say without Tony. He was in N.Y.C. trying to sort out the management problems. It was a ridiculous situation, no money, nowhere to stay. Regretfully I sold my beloved 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG Custom to raise the plane fare back to London. | ALAN: Oh yeah I love it. L.A. on the other hand I find a bit too laid back, it's not for me.

I joined [[U.K.]] in '78 which consisted of Bill, [[John Wetton]], [[Eddie Jobson]] and myself, one album there. In 1979 I went to Paris with the new trio, and here we are two years later about to make another album.
