Notes From Ralph[]
"Snakefinger wouldn’t really be a part of their process. They would have semi-completed things and ask him if he’d want to lay down some tracks on them. The structure was already sketched out at that point. The interesting thing with Snakefinger was that at the point he died they were at the high point of their collaboration. They had just recently done their 13th Anniversary tour, and that was the thing he was the most heavily involved in."

"Snakefinger's first encounter with The Residents - and this was really when the Mysterious N. Senada was around - was several years earlier. And really at that time, The Residents were just doing very, very experimental work. Some of this is the stuff that is... The Warner Bros. Album or Baby Sex or things like that, and so The Residents had a lot of interesting ideas but they didn't really have a whole lot of skill as musicians. And it was really Snakefinger who came along and understood one, that they did have very interesting ideas, and two, that by working with multi-track recording techniques, they didn't really have to have great musical technique. And so he really supported them. And for someone who was as accomplished a musician as he was, to come along and in a way sort of give them permission and say 'yeah, you can do this', well, that was a big boost for them. But, you know he was really only around at that time for I think maybe six months or so, and then I think his American visa ran out, and he had to go back to England, and then he was in England for maybe four or five years, something like that. And then, I think when... Duck Stab! was done, he had not returned from England terribly long. So in a lot of ways it was kind of a reunion for them. And The Residents had obviously grown and matured a lot while he was gone, and he found all that really interesting and compelling. And then, you know, there was a time too when he lived in LA and he came back for a while and he lived in LA for a while and he came back again... and I don't really remember what the precise dates of all that were."
