MidCurrent:
Does it surprise you, in looking back,
thirty years later, at what came out of that collection of people? Maybe you
have other examples of how this has happened in your life, but very few people
can look back and say “These guys and I just happened to end up here and two of
them became highly esteemed writers and another one became a billionaire
musician and another’s landscapes are collected by art critics all over the
world … that’s pretty remarkable.”
Guy de la Valdene:
It is remarkable. And I’m sure we all think about it. I certainly do. And as I said, we need to go back to Tom. Tom brought that whole group together, and then he brought that whole group together one more time in Livingston, Montana. Jim didn’t live in Montana then, but he does now — he moved there about seven or eight years ago. But Chatham followed Tom to Livingston, and Richard Brautigan followed him there, and my wife and I, or just I, would go out there at least once or twice a year. That was just our little nucleus, our particular group. Tom was a magnet to a lot of other people as well.
