I knew Tex had passed, but never found this site until now. I searched today because one of my kids was watching 'The Freshman' and, as I usually do when confronted by things from my past, typed his name into a search engine and this site popped up.
We'd hang in his flat; we'd ALWAYS go out for Chinese food in Chinatown at 3 in the morning, we'd do the Yellow Door and the Karma Coffee house (where I'd do the sound) and such.
At the time he was living with a lady whose name I simply cannot recall (my memory is not what it was) and I still have one of his old cards from TK Knives somewhere, which used to sit under the glass on my then desk. I may have some reel-to-reel recordings from the old days in storage somewhere.
Unfortunately he and I lost contact when he moved away.
The years have passed, but the memory of Tex as a person larger than life lingers on. He was a good friend and is missed.
