P. 30
TE: The only contact I've ever had is one where we were in a pub, and I was playing, and I played
that song.
BiTS: That's one of those stories that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
Absolutely fabulous.
BiTS: Tinsley, it's been wonderful speaking to you. Thank you very much indeed for giving up
your time. I gather you've got a show snowed off the other day?
TE: Yeah, yeah, in Albany, New York.
BiTS: That won't happen in Atlanta.
TE: It wouldn't, no. If it happened, one snowflake and Atlanta shuts down everything. Every loaf
of bread and every egg and every gallon of milk is sold. People think they're going to be snowed
in. In Albany it rarely happens, but it was really blizzard conditions out there.
BiTS: I've never spent any real time in Georgia. I have been to Georgia, but I did spend some
time in Texas, so I know very well that when it snows, even though people think they can, they
can't actually drive in the snow.
TE: No. Well, in northern Texas, like Amarillo, they're more used to it. But in places like Austin
or Houston, then they're not used to it. So there's no snow ploughs or anything like that.
BiTS: Tinsley, I won't take any more of your time. Thank you very, very much for talking to me
and you have a wonderful rest of the day. And, of course, I hope the tour continues to go well.
TE: Thank you, Ian, and I hope that if you have any ideas about me coming over there to play,
let me know, okay.
BiTS: Of course I will, yes, absolutely. Tinsley, You have a great day, and thank you very much
indeed, not only for talking to me, but also for producing such a fabulous album because I love
it.
TE: Thank you, Ian.
