However, Quine did briefly practice law, or, so he told me. He said he read Intellectual Property law as an low-level in-house attorney at Simon and Schuster publishing for a few years before he dropped out of the corporate scene and started blazing his way through the EV-LES music world of that vaunted time. He might have been bullshitting me, but, that’s what I remember he said. Perhaps this is an urban myth that has been passed along by his own doing.

I last saw him in passing around 1984 at some local restaurant or watering hole. We did not speak, because I figured he would not remember me, so, I did not bother him.

He was a well-versed, inventive guitar player, at times quite unpredictable, but, always in control and on his game. Pretty blazing, but tasteful, thoughtful.

His passing was tragic and sad, but, he left the realm on his own terms, which is good.
