“Pete\u2019s sidekick and guitarist Tom \u201cThe Coalman\u201d Nordon, was another great friendship made then.\u00a0 He is the most patient and help full guitarist I ever worked with.\u00a0 The other CAB\u2019s were Pete\u2019s Jane and kids Jo and Kate, Tom\u2019s Chrissie, bass player Rudy Dellos and drummer Dave Taylor.\u00a0 The album was duly completed, and sat on the great rock and roll shelf of wondrous dreams \u2018til now, a mere 30 years later.\u00a0 No time at all really.\u00a0 All great art has to kind of gestate for a while, look at Vincent (van Gogh, not Gene, dummy)\u00a0 one picture sold in a whole lifetime.<\/p>\n
So to the point at last.\u00a0 Here it is.\u00a0 Not just the CAB album, but we decided to make it a sort of audio history of that period of about five years from \u201977 to \u201882, and as you will see, if you want to tag along, we had some weird and wonderful times, great and glorious mirth, drunken revels, tears, (mostly of joy, some of wonder) and always underpinned by the music, which, thankfully was never dictated by what was in the charts.”<\/p>\n
