I first started listening to Holdsworth somewhere
around his stint with Soft Machine and became
fanatical during his Bruford/UK years. But I agree
with Per, his work on the Synthaxxe didn't do a thing
for me.

I'd never heard the pig farm story, but I know at one
point well into his career he had a job for a short
time weaving baskets. A friend of mine asked him why,
and he said something like "Gotta pay the bills
somehow."
