I know that Richard expressed some frustration with this situation in an interview reprinted on this site. I guess I am just disappointed that such talented people chose to stick with doing what they had already done rather than branching out in a new direction. The problem is that having set the standard so high with the OQ it was always going to be hard to maintain the same standard. I think the 80/90s Band played great music and provided great entertainment for people. Young folk putting something together which tied them in with a musical tradition. Maybe the technical competence isn't all that high but I thought it was great. (Good for you too, Peter V, re Forever More, even though there's no mention of "She's Good To Me".) JT: Nice job on the John Hammond at Toppermost - complete with references to our guys. She has also released a lot of albums with her band Funky Stuff and she is regarded as one of the best saxophonists in Europe, the US and Asia!" She plays on his double live cd "A night in San Francisco". Candy has played with Van at a lot of concerts both in the US and Europe. This is the complete interview joined together as it was broken up by Dutch narration. "Van's favorite saxophone player interviewed Van for Dutch TV "Candy meets", this is the best interview I've ever seen of Van he is very relaxed and frank, Candy is not only talented and beautiful but very smart as well.
