A rare old interview with Lyn Dobson from "Melody Maker".

It has never been frequent to read interviews with Lyn Dobson in the past for a few reasons: first, for the fact that he has always been a session man and studio turner, having played with many bands, including Manfred Mann and the Soft Machine; also, in spite of his histrionic nature on stage, he has always preferred to respond to words with music. 

Devoted to John Coltrane's saxophone, passionate about the I King and meditation, a good draughtsman, involved in volunteer organizations (including as a bus driver for transporting the disabled), I knew him as a shy, thoughtful person, anything but egotistical - except when he took the stage, transforming himself into an outstanding performer!
In this fine interview with Richard Williams, published by "Melody Maker" on January 31, 1970, he shows all his intelligence and sensitivity as a young musician with a philosophical reflection on the power of music...
