The music according to Glen Sweeney in an old article from 1970.

 
Dear loyal listeners of the Third Ear Band, for however few of you are left, here is another archival tidbit from the distant past. 
 
From an April 11, 1970, issue of Disc & Music Echo, in a column devoted to musician's ideas of music, Glen Sweeney talks about his idea of music and reveals some unknown biographical anecdotes (e.g., I didn't know he had been a dishwasher for a living either).
It is interesting to note that a magazine as widespread as Disc could give the floor to an obscure protagonist of the underground of those days: in times of boorish homogenization such as the ones we are suffering, it would be as if today Mojo or Uncut gave space to  R. Stevie Moore or Eugene Chadbourne...

  1. Seems there aren't many comments recently, so as my first comment here I thank you for this archive. I've been a loyar listener for fifty years. And to prove it I did a pilgrimage to the grave in Kensal Green Cemetery where TEB was photographed for the Alchemy. As a Finnish teenager the trip was as possible to me as to the Mars. Keep going Luca!

  2. Thank you very much for your comment and appreciation. After years of research and accomplishments (this Archive with no less than 542 files, two books, various CD edits, even a conference...) I think there is not much left to say. At least to me.
    I guess your trip to Mars was documented with photos, videos, etc. Why not write a report for this Archive?
    If you like the idea, write to me at my private email and we will make arrangements.
    Best wishes.
