About this Quote

Jim Capaldi's quote is a reflection on the early days of his band, Traffic. He is describing a home they leased in the countryside of England in the late 1960s. The home was a place where the band might live and rehearse, and it was an advanced principle at the time. The band was able to rent the cottage for an extremely low price, just 5 dollars a week. This enabled them to concentrate on their music and develop their sound without the distractions of city life. The cottage ended up being a popular place for the band, and it was the first of its kind. It was a location where they could create and experiment, and it was a significant factor in the success of Traffic. The cottage was a sign of the band's imagination and development, and it was a major part of their story.
