• Jeff about the early months

1. I believe we were at Francis Ford Coppola's house sometime in March for the start of Rumblefish. 2. We worked at Tres Virgos for several weeks then went to LA, possibly for that photo studio programming rehearsal. 3. After the LA rehearsals, I believe we had some time off for Easter, possibly when SC saw Henry in the UK and I went to NJ. 4. We then returned to San Raphael and Tres Virgos to finish the scoring.
