This is fantastc, thanks for the share! Man I loved the Pikes, but I think my lovely wife did even more. Did they have a fan club? I recall her saying she was a member… I’ll ask her, my memory is shite these days. Anyway, awesome interview, and it was like reading a who’s who of my formative musical years. I even have a Semko solo record here on LP. Great stuff!
