“'72 must have been amazing time. Ronno on Transformer, Bowie on Dudes. Ziggy taking off. Ronno and I hit it off immediately because we were both working class lads. It just fell together quite naturally, then Bowie retired Ziggy and Mick became available. It was never easy business wise, but we got on great and our wives did too. We'd say hello and then I asked him to arrange “Sea Diver.” Both bands were in Trident at the same time. I remember David rushing me in to listen to “John I'm Only Dancing.” He loved it. I wasn't so sure, but I didn't say anything. Yes, very flash time.”
