It Was A Really Interesting Time In New York In The Late 70s And Early 80s, And The Music Scene Was Really, Really Interesting Because You Didn't Have To Be A Virtuoso To Make Music, It Was More About Your Desire To Express Things.

Partly Because I Had Been Following Amos Poe And Eric Mitchell Around For About A Year, And I Worked On Some Of Eric's Films As A Sound Recordist And Stuff.
