While I never got to meet> or work with Lou, I did meet Robert Quine, who while slightly aloof at> first, was a gentleman, and a true scholar of the guitar. A master of his> craft. He was also one of Lou's biggest fans. > > We spent several hours that day transferring his audience recordings from> the VU concerts in 1969. He would recall 40+ year-old set lists from memory.> He told stories about how the band would eagerly listen to his tapes right> after their shows and sometimes ask for copies. How he would stop recording> in between songs to preserve as much cassette tape as possible. How he would> travel with Lou and the band to different cities to record them. And how> much he learned from Lou. > > Later, after he became Lou's guitarist for The Blue Mask, they had had a> major falling out. I got the impression that Quine was still upset about it,> and didn't really understand why it happened.
