I am spot on with you on Looooooooo Phil. When you started playing Lou Harrison I also thought of Lou Reed. I got turned on to both Lous, Reed first, then Harrison, in the early 80s during my college years in Ann Arbor. I can't remember if the crowd Loo'ed when I saw Lou Reed with the Quine / Maher / Saunders band at the Bottom Line in 1983 though - I think maybe not as much as in Jersey. But the (also) dearly departed Lou Harrison was a friend of my ethnomusicology prof and came to our class one day, right around the same time. Unlike the other Lou though, he was the sweetest guy ever. Lou Harrison sparked my lifelong interest in cross-cultural musical experimentation not too long after the Velvets sparked my broader life-long interest in pushing musical boundaries.
