I was with a folk trio back in '63 and '64, and we traveled all across North Africa, Israel, and Europe.

Apparently, I don't want to take myself too seriously.

I wake up in the morning, or the middle of the night when an idea comes through. My songwriting style, basically I just write down information given to me from the muse and how that works for songwriters. Record the muse and the muse delivers.

I think if you don't have it [desire], you're not going to be pushed into anything. You've got to want to do something.

I don't sit down to write a song, per se.

Playing with my grandfather, grandmother and my parents, I came to music pretty naturally.

There's not that many people from the sixties who have progressed as writers and are continuing on. They're out there. But I'm one of them who's just continued on, following his own little inner madness.
