Okay here's a tough one...

Q. Who was planning to sell his bass and buy a motor bike when Soft Machine recruited him in the nick of time...?

Ahhh, we have a winner...

I mean otherwise it would have just been a question of reeling off the bass players... But yes, Soft Machine only just got to him in time... Guess he needed the money...

Sure was, but he never considered that he'd play bass again I suppose...

Having finished with Wilde Flowers and then being Soft Machine's road manager for a while... They had been given instructions to reform by the record company (I think) and so he got called up again...

Oh yeah! I am remembering now! During that time, they just signed a contract with Columbia Records.(CBS is Europe I suppose.)
