Lyrics
First bands I remember you in were Alexis Korner and the
Grand Bond Organisation. That was about when? Early '60s?
'63, I joined Alexis, yeah
Actually, you know what, let's talk a bit about
Music in those days and, and what you were up to
And how you got into Alexis Korner, to begin with
Well, it's quite a long story, really, um. To read the whole, to get
The whole picture, you'll have to read my book. Um, however, um
I was working in a lot with, um, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jack Bruce
Um, playing, you know, jazz gigs. Um, we were all, uh, sort
Of the avant-garde jazz musicians of the day. Dick and Jack
Were invited to join Alexis, which they did. Um, at this time
We had an octet going, a really good band, the Johnny Birch
Octet, which we all played in, and um, you know, they told
Me they were with this Alexis Korner, and I, you know, I was
A bit sceptical about it, um, you know, being a heavy jazzer
