(TV) Robert Quine RIP

[Todd Ellenberg <hotfkintuna@yahoo.com>]

I was very saddened to hear the news.

I still have vivid memories of the 1st time I saw
Quine...RH & the Voidoids were opening for Patti Smith
at the short-lived CBGB theatre in fall '77.  After
his first solo, you knew you were hearing an original,
brilliant voice on guitar. One of the greatest
guitarists to come out of the NYC in those days. I
picked up the Escape LP at some little store on
MacDougal Street...a basement shop...it came in a
plain white sleeve and didn't even have the album
title or songs listed on the record label!

After that I had the pleasure of seeing that great
band a handful of times.  I also caught him w/the 
band Deadline...w/Bill Laswell and Philip Wilson and
others where he showed off his incredible chops in
more of jazz setting. Unfortunately, having retreated
to Miami in the early '80s, I missed seeing him on
stage w/Lou Reed.

He will be missed....
