Give us an interesting story that happened either at a gig,
or while writing or recording a song. During one open air gig
on the Geneva Lake shore, sound conditions were terrible at the
because of a broken bass amp provided by the backline & echo
in the monitors.
Nico made up new lyrics on the spot directed to the sound engineer,
who went berserk, shouting through to the monitors, about Nico’s
