Subject: [Television-group] joe harper saturday morning/that was the river


hey murray..actually got the name at school after dons striker joe harper..i
scored 17 goals in my only match then 'retired' from football cos it seemed
too easy!then joe strummer came along...and the name stuck!however later in
london i was collecting versions of louie louie  and mike scott suggested i
call myself 'kingman'  after the kingsmen...whick leads us neatly in to..
  the waterboys thing...i shared a flat with mike in london at that point.he
went to nyc to do some recordings with lenny kaye as producer..and lenny was
supplying the musicians..mike got there and told him he was a Television
fan..so apparently lenny phoned tom..who 'dropped in' out of curiosity and
ended up on guitar on 'that was the river'...at least that's my memory of
it...but it was a long time ago..i was so pissed off i couldn't afford to make
the trip too.i know mike came home unhappy with the results and re-recorded
all the songs again..at this point i moved back to scotland and forgot all
about it..till 'the secret life' comp came out...it's about the only waterboys
song i really like  i was a big another pretty face fan...and didnt follow
mike on his spiritual journeys..!
