Sorry man.
I was young and inexperienced and maybe a little punchy from a hard day in the trenches of Grade 9.
When I flipped on the tube and saw that you and the boys were playing on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' I was right into it. Your laid back delivery and gravely husk of a voice are truely distinct and attractive qualities.
Then, part way into the song (I think it was during Danger but it might have been President Gas), your microphone slipped in the stand and pointed to the floor for a second- you swung it upright and continued on as though nothing had happened.. which is really all you can do in a situation like that.
No big deal... but the thing is- I laughed at you. The spell was broken, the cool was gone- and I stupidly and naively laughed aloud.
I'm sorry.
It will never- I repeat NEVER- happen again.
Good luck with all of your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
