"When Johnny Ware, now the drummer of the First National Band, first suggested I start a band my reaction was distant and a little negative. But he continued to talk and through the conversation I sensed some of the same spirit of the men who have so profoundly influenced me. So, two days later Red Rhodes, John London, Johnny and myself got together for a trial run and it all seemed to fall into place." Michael Nesmith
