So it was very rhythmic.

And in fact, it was hearing the rhythmic, intense ska music at the end of the 70s that made me want to drop everything and start a rock band.

And your brother, it was his thing?

He started it.

Right.

We started, both of us, with this troupe called Le Grand Magic Circus in Paris.

He spent a couple of years with them.

While I was in Africa, he came back home and founded the Mystic Knights, inspired by...

The Grand Magic Circus.

Right.

And the day I came home, he was like, you're the musical director.

I go, yeah, but I got hepatitis, so let me rest up.

You can rest up all day tomorrow.

Day after tomorrow, you can sit in on rehearsals.

So I was kind of appointed musical director of the Mystic Knights.

And what would that entail?

Well...

musical director of a street troupe, you know.

So a lot of free spirits.

Yeah.
