Now, were you familiar with Arthur during his time?
I mean, the 67, 68?
[F#] Well, I knew the record, you know, Forever Changes, [A] that album.
It [F#] kind of stuck all the way through, it still does, you know.
[G] So that was played in [A] England at the time?
I don't know, [C#] I don't know where I heard it.
I mean, I was big fans here tonight.
He was an early supporter of Mott & Hood, he knows Robert.
[D] We had a certain
few
little people around us, Jeff [G] Dexter, people like that.
[F#] They would play us all these records that [B] we never heard.
And one of them was Forever Changes.
And it struck me that
I listened to it again last week.
And it sounds like there's one guy who goes to the world
at a particular place in a particular time.
But it [F#m] still sounds that way now.
[G] Well, you can't do better than [B] that.
And that's why I think it still figures.
How did you get involved in the event tonight?
[Bm] Some [G] guy rang me up and said,
Robert's doing this gig, do you want to [B] do it?
And I have an extremely good band, the Ramp Band,
and Robert wanted to [A] use my band.
So I said, [B] yeah.
[Bm] Why not?
[G] He's not very well, he needs a few bolts [A] to
[A#] do
a medical build and all that.
[Gm] Right, in fact, that's one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about.
Because [A#] it's such a plight with people in music and the arts in the States.
Because generally they don't have [D] health insurance.
And generally when something like this [D] happens, it takes [E] them
We're [G] notorious for having one side of the brain working
and the other side of the brain is dormant.
[D#] That's why we get screwed and all that.
[G] And I was fortunate enough to marry somebody who took care of all that.
[D] Some didn't.
I would have been one of [A] them.
Because we didn't care, all we wanted to do was play.
[F#] And of course in the long term [B] it comes back and bites you.
[Dm] I don't know [A] what his circumstances [G] were,
but the fact of the matter is he's got a big time illness going on.
It's got to be paid for.
[Dm] And I just thought it was an help in any way [A#] that I can.
Well, what we're going to try to do with this film is just mainly give it to him.
[F] Thank you.
What did I offer?
[F#] You did something unique.
[G] And [F#] that's what it's all about.
It's not about going out and selling millions of [A] records.
It's [D] about getting something from inside you.
[F#]
[D] That's perfect.
Thank [Am] you very much, Dave.
