How did Daryl enter as a tour guitarist?
Originally Alphonso Johnson was approached (at Phil’s suggestion) to join the band as the new live guitarist/bass player. He was unable to do so, and it was Alphonso Johnson that recommended Daryl to the band. “I got a call from [Jean-Puc] Ponty’s manager who said, “A guy named Dick Fraser from Genesis is trying to call you. Here’s his number.” So, i called him, and then found out that they wanted me to audition for Genesis. I went to New York and auditioned with Mike. They had sent me four songs on a tape but in the end he only asked me to play Squonk and Down And Out before said, “I think this is fine.” – daryl stuermer.
