"Expanded horizons- first tours outside of Canada - Japan, small club circuit
in Northeastern U.S. Was told I must be the reincarnation of Kenji Miyazawa,
a fine Japanese poet. Sounds good from my end, but what bad things did he do
to deserve me? Also was introduced to the work of "Christian" writer Charles
Williams, a contemporary of and influence on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and
others. These influences are all over the albums from this time."

James Jensen: "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" didn't have any instrumental
pieces but it was very much driven by the sound of your acoustic
guitar and seems to be a fitting end to your string of acoustic based
albums of the 70's. It was certainly your most popular album to date
is it one of your favorites?
BC: I don't really have favorite albums, I think that was a good one
and it is probably better than some of the other ones but you're
right in that it was a cummulation of what I was doing through the
70's and that is fitting for an album that came at the end of that
time and the acoustic based Jazz influenced thing didn't die there
but it was kind of the last major expression of it. I then started
going after something more rhythmic and band oriented and hard edged.
