Life never seems to have been easy for Tony. In 1965 he got stranded in Denmark on route to Sweden where his agent was iring him some money for work he had send him. In a park in Copenhagen he did a drawing. Somebody admired it, Tony sold it and got busted for 'selling a drawing without a licence and having insufficient funds. He was in Jail for six month, in solitary confinement. I guess he gave his opinion a bit loudly about the situation. When he finally appeared they gave him a fine which obviously he could. So they allowed him to sell his beautiful old banjo to the guard who had coveted it from the moment he laid eyes on it... He said this drawing he smuggled out of the prison. he went straight to Paris where he met his later wife.
