Much later, in the second (and little known) band that Mayo and I put together, the Rocking Blue Diamonds, playing well became an issue, so we solicited the talent—coerced it, is probably more accurate. But in the mid-’60s, with the Red Krayola, that wasn’t the deal. The deal was to participate in the party and do something surprising while you were at it.</blockquote>[[Mayo Thompson]], 2023<ref>https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2023/10/red-krayola-interview-mayo-thompson.html</ref><blockquote>[...] A later band—The Rocking Blue Diamonds—played The Old Quarter, and Rocky Hill’s Club.</blockquote>
