I'd Love To Change The World, But

Strangely Enough, Through All Those School Years I Decided At 13 Or 14 I Was Going To Be A Musician And So School Was Just Something To Get Out Of The Way, A Waste Of Time And Not To Bother With It.

I Just Couldn't Take School Seriously: I Had This Guitar Neck With Four Frets Which I Kept Hidden Under The Desk. It Had Strings On It So I Would Practice My Chord Shapes Under The Desk And That's About All I Did At School.

It Was By Listening To Goodman's Band, That I Began To Notice The Guitarist Charlie Christian, Who Was One Of The First Musicians To Play Solos In A Big Band Set-up.

The Chances Of A Reunion Now Are Less Likely. I Was Thinking Of Having A 40th Anniversary Of The Band, But Now They Are Really Another Band, So It's All A Bit Weird.

I'd Love To Change The World, But I Don't Know What To Do
