Once somebody met me on the street when my quartet was going into Slug’s […] he said something about getting high and I said, “Yeah – on the music”. For me, it’s hard to understand why a musician needs more than the music. When I went to Europe the first time with Charles Lloyd, after the first or second set there were people coming up to Charles asking him if there was anything they could do for me!Because to them I seemed so crazy that I must be on something! “What can we do for Keith, we’d really want to help him, he looks so far gone!” But I wasn’t drinking, smoking, taking any drugs… I never have taken drugs… no interest in it”.”",
