我与亚历克斯在80年代后期在他的家在郊区丹佛度过了一个下午的一部分 - 我认为这是恩格尔伍德虽然我的记忆有点模糊了30年后的今天！I found him to be friendly and open to my questions – I told him that I had purchased the first A&M 45 upon its initial release, had seen the band open for Van Morrison and Them at the Whiskey A GoGo in the spring of ’66, and recalled how the Magic Band of that period sounded a lot more like a combination of Howlin’ Wolf and Muddt Waters than the later ‘psychedelic’ version heard on the later records … he agreed and briefed me on how things went down during the later Bob Krasnow and Frank Zappa phases as Alex’s own preference for R&B and blues succombed to ‘other influences’ and the rise of Don as leader of the band and Alex’s waning influence. At that stage Alex didn’t have any records by CB&theMB smith after I got back home I sent him a bunch of cassettes of the LPs and singles. He told me he was taking classes in what we now call I.T. – not sure if he ever actually worked in that field but maybe others know more on that … John Berg’s

是的，我听说他正在接受信息技术培训，尽管当时我认为他在厨房工作（可能是在酒店工作，但不确定），最后因为在对待一名女性员工的问题上顶撞管理层而被解雇。他被迫在车里住了一段时间。
可悲的是，我还没来得及为雷达站采访他，他就死了。
1968年乐队在英国巡回演出时见过亚历克斯三次。虽然唐是领队，但在我看来，亚历克斯似乎是领队，杰夫·科顿、杰里·汉德利和约翰·弗伦奇跟着他的和弦变化和节奏（见戛纳海滩视频）。我唯一一次见到他是在他取代埃利奥特的“有翼鳗鱼鱼儿”在明确的地点乐队，当他的演奏是一样闪耀，但他显然是一个雇用的副手在一件外衣，而不是领导乐队。布里斯托尔·科尔斯顿大厅的“大眼睛豆子”真是太棒了！
约翰·斯图尔特在第二排？
我非常喜欢史蒂夫·弗雷关于布奇和亚历克斯的文章。我和他们一起上高中，59年毕业。我记得学校舞会上为我们演奏的灯火管制。虽然我对他们相当了解，在聚会上看到他们，一起上了几节课，但我们的情况有些不同圆圈。唐有一个很酷的50-51'美世，真正的“领导雪橇”，我做了一点巡航与他。听说他们的死我也很难过，太年轻了。
还有一个叫雷克斯·雅各布斯基的音乐家，他和布奇、唐和弗兰克在一起。在弗兰克搬出兰开斯特后，雷克斯和我开车去克莱蒙特看他。那是我最后一次见到弗兰克。我高中毕业后加入了海军，与雷克斯失去了联系。有人认识他，如果他还活着的话？？兰开斯特肯定有很多天才。
