Great sarcastic quote from Mr Reed: "One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."

| I liked a lot of his early records, especially White Light. He had a wicked sense of humor. |

| I bet a lot of folks don't know that Don Cherry was a member of Reed's band for a short while in the late 70s. He played on the Bells album and did some shows too. |

RIP ------------- I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ... Ken Burns |

I'll try to drop in a link after I get home today. But there's an interesting live piece with Lou, Laurie Anderson, and John Zorn you can watch on YouTube. -------------
