	year for 21st April. Just saying. I'm very fond of marzipan, should you get stuck for gift ideas. But I digress. Again. Your way of thinking about the underground movement also had a dramatic effect. I recall one particular sentence; “Some people just see it as another way to sell tapes.” I remember at the time thinking quite dismissively of the comment, like of course we want to sell tapes, what’s your problem? But it started a chain of thought that made me realise there was so much more to it than that. It seemed like something of a throwaway comment, but obviously presented a deeply held conviction at the same time. Can you expand on your thoughts some, what did you feel the true nature of the underground to be and how important a part of your own life was it?			DC: I never had an interest in selling tapes. The only thing I cared about was making personal contact and interacting with a community of like minded individuals. I have very little business sense and I was lucky to have a good paying job as a Vegetable Clerk to support me and my family. I also got my 3 kids involved at times with my own music and they got to know people like Dino DiMuro, Eric Muhs and others when they would come by the house occasionally. I only wanted to give or trade my music and that’s what I have done to this day. Over time though some people have actually preferred to pay me because they claim they do not have anything of value to trade me. I often question this though and tell them I will accept non music items such as baked goods, clothing or handmade artisan items.
