And actually, ironically, the reason, I guess, he was passing by was because we were, myself and my friend were busking together and we were singing, because Van's songs are amazing to busk.
So one day we were busking, playing one of his songs, and he passed by.
But actually, the irony was that we were busking enough money together
to go see him that night.
So actually, we ended up busking up enough money to go see him.
And the same thing happened to us with you two.
We were busking up the money to go see them one time, and we saw them the same day, which is very interesting.
Well, I'm very lucky in that my mother, again, my mother was very, very liberal.
She grew up in a very, very tight household where she had to be home at a
She had 12 brothers and sisters, and I guess the family had to keep everybody, herd them together, I guess, if you like.
So my mother grew up in the 60s, you know, and so during that time, she wanted basically to give her kids the freedom that she never had.
So my mother was, like, very, very liberal.
She said to me, anytime you need, you know, if you want to... When I came home to her and said, Ma, I really want to do music, my mother just said, well, do it then.
And she said, well, do it, and if you're going to do it, do it properly.
So I go, you know...
go and earn a living from it and do it and get really involved in it so I was lucky and my dad my dad was you know I guess my dad was one of those guys who was he worked hard but he was a hard drinking man and didn't and supported us in whatever we wanted to do but didn't really play much of a role in our lives except to say yeah fair play to you son go for it you know so my dad was I guess was on board with it too I was very very lucky I mean my headmaster in school my head teacher he was he was a great guy
He, I was in his office so many times and we talked and talked and I guess he was a smart guy.
He figured out that music was the one subject I really enjoyed talking about.
And because he was in his part, in his spare time, he was a DJ.
And so myself and himself would talk about Dylan and Cohen and Neil Young and all the stuff that really impassioned me.
