9. HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND,
AND WAS THERE A PARTICULAR SONG THAT MADE YOU SEE THE LIGHT?:
I was introduced by my late friend Mikael Djurvall in the late nineties but for me it was an aquired taste so it took some time to really grasp it fully. To keep a long story short the song that really got me hooked and still is a definite favourite is "Sheriff of Hong Kong".

10. NUMBER OF BEEFHEART  GIGS SEEN,  AND WHICH YEARS:
None, I'm a tad too young to have been able to do that.

11. ART SHOWS VISITED: None.

12. ANY CONTACT WITH DON?:
Only "spiritually" and creatively, not in flesh.

13. MUSICAL ABILITY / TRAINING:
Semi-guitarist, plays some bass and claviature. I really play on whatever I get my hands on except drums.
