SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I think I was just 16, and Otis Redding had just died in a terrible plane crash. I went to my record store and bought ‘Dock Of The Bay’ on the Stax label, a lovely blue label. There was a paper bag, and I took it out, put it on my turntable, the usual ritual, put the needle on it and I hear it. What a wonderful song. I mean, sad, sad song but without any minor chords. It’s all major chords, which is kind of an achievement in many ways."
