Part one of our freewheeling exchange covers everything from novelty & psychedelic music to Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, Captain Beefheart, Andy's favorite Dave Gregory solo, XTC band lingo, and what it was like to be onstage with that four-piece juggernaut. Plus: Andy plays guitar for us! Gregg Bendian is now available for Zoom music lessons.
