But one band that I actually liked that came to us in that manner was a band called the King Bees.

And one of the King Bees was a guitar player called Danny Korchmar.

And Danny and I, when the King Bees were backing us up on the road, became great friends.

We remain great friends to this day.

He's a brilliant guitar player and a remarkable man.

And then subsequently, Danny was in a band with his childhood friend, James Taylor.

And that band was called The Flying Machine.

And it suffered all the vicissitudes that living in New York could convey.

And, you know, there were drug problems and money problems and food problems and all this other stuff going on.

Finally, that band broke up.

James decided to go to London.

And when Danny found this out, he said to James, you should look at my friend Peter Asher.

He's OK.

And we toured together for a while back.

And so that's how I got my phone rang.

And this guy on said, you know, very sort of cultured, slightly southern accents that explained that he was a friend of Coochie's.

And, you know, and I said, great, you know, if you're in London, come over.

I mean, come and visit.

So he came to dinner the following evening and he'd already made a demo tape the previous week.

And he played me a couple of songs on the tape and I was completely blown away.
