yeah.. my memory has suffered a great deal in the last 30 years..
but whatever he did..
and however he did it..
.. he certainly made a considerable impression on us
all those years ago..
me and my mate had 3 main pre-punk era 'role models'
Eddie Cochran, Wilko Johnson and Jake..
and then we discovered MC5 and the new york dolls..
and Pentangle and Gong.......
errr.. late 70's provincial west country punk-hippy scene
is maybe best lost forgotten in the mists of time..
odd what diverse strange things influence your music making
for the rest of yer life..
anyway.. after watching the TV shows my mrs has decided she now
likes Jake..
and wont object too much if i buy a few of his newly released CDs !!!
