Taco has actually said he willfully chose to give up trying to be big in America after the second album. He said he would have had to live in America to really do that and he considered himself mainly European and he felt that trying to work in America any longer would have been very lonely and isolating and it wouldn’t have been as tight-knit a work life as he likes. He was being encouraged to fly first class on planes and not mingle with his backup band and he felt that wasn’t the kind of show business career he wanted.

First time I have seen that fellow and I just love his music, his expressions on his face and the movement of his body. I am really really enjoying it. Sorry I never heard of him before thank you thank you very much.
Funny thing: No one seems to know how tall he really is. I have searched out of curiosity, and there is nothing, anywhere. I have a feeling he is may 5'4". Just a guess. Great talent missed by most of America. Too bad. Makes you wonder how much great talent and performers are hidden from the U.S. Guess that is what we get for being so isolated and drowning in our self-righteous pride.

It takes a lot of work and dedication to really have ongoing success in America and he just wanted a show business career he felt he could really enjoy in the environment and culture he knew best. He felt like the demands of show business in America, especially as a foreigner, didn’t ultimately provide him the kind of level of close-knit interaction he knew best in Europe.
