Eno less than you think
I have no idea how I got to reading an interview with Warren Cann, but his thoughts on first meeting Brian Eno, circa 1976:
I remember looking at his Mini-Moog synthesizer. It was the first one I'd ever gotten my hands on and he had all these little pieces of tape stuck by the keys with the names of the notes written on them, plus little pictures stuck on adjacent to some of the control knobs. I pointed to a cute picture of a sheep and asked,What's that mean?He replied,Well, I don't know what that knob does but, when I turn it, it makes the soundI was quite taken aback. I didn't know what to say to that! I think I just nodded and said,wooly,so the picture of the sheep (sheep...wool...get it?) reminds me....Umm... good idea!From that moment on, I had a very strong suspicion that Brian was not the technical master we'd had in mind!
