Okay, so I started writing music and we'd bring in stuff and we had a brass band and a percussion band and we would march right into with the drums into a line, for example, in Westwood or somewhere, you know, where there's a movie theater, wherever there's a lot of people.
and do like a quick show, pass the hat, and get out before the police arrive.

And would you play real gigs, too?
Not at first.

midnight cult movie.
And then I took over the Mystic Knights.
And at that point, I really got all really good musicians.
So everybody had to play four instruments, you know, so we could be a string band, a brass band, a percussion band.
