 ''"I met Jack [Bruce] in 1967 when we were working at the [[Garrick Theater]] in New York.

[...] Well, [[Jim Gordon]] was a friend of his and when we were in NY we went to see the concert of Bruce, West and Laing at Radio City Music Hall and so after the concert we went over to his hotel and talked for a while and he had the day off and we had the day off, so he decided to go into the studio and jam."'' - Frank Zappa, interviewed by Ed Baker, The Hot Flash, May 1974.<ref>https://www.donlope.net/fz/notes/Apostrophe_(').html</ref>
