We got a little more serious about it and started-- got ourselves a manager/songwriter and went to New York a couple of times and Toronto with a bunch of his songs and our arrange? ments, and we sort of collaborated on them. And that lasted for about two years, I guess. Sam Moon, Matt Minglewood, and the Universal Power...parted ways...because of differences of agreement with the management arrangement that I couldn't live with, and they wanted to continue, so I went and joined a band called Pepper Tree. I lasted 3 or 4 months with them, and I got fired because they wer? en't what I was looking for. First time in my life I had ever been fired, I think.
