It was a compulsion. I HAD to do that.

Jerry, one of the things that we all take for granted is that geography is geography. North America is BIG. In England and other parts of the UK and Europe, one can walk to the next town in 45 minutes. There are parts of North America where the next town is a flight away, or a three hour drive. It ain't 45 minute walk--it's a ten day walk if the weather's good. Distance is a factor, and I think that can help explain the 'regionality' of much North American music. I think if some OZ 'catters respond to this that we may find out it's a little like that there, too.
