I can see her lying back in her faded dress in a room where do what you don't confess.

Don Quixote was a song for a 1969 Michael Douglas movie called Hail Hero! I wrote the title song for the film and they also used the Don Quixote one I had submitted.

A lot of people influenced me as I was learning but probably Bing Crosby was the most influential, because I would hear his Christmas albums, which my parents played a lot.

Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake.

I was a drummer in the bugle band in cadets. I marched. It's probably quite funny to look back on it.

I had lots of friends who were fighting in Vietnam and I am still friends with veterans of the war.

Of course I knew The Band's Canadian keyboard player, the late Richard Manuel, but I didn't play that night because I was there as a guest with my record executives. People ask, "why didn't you play?" If I had known I was going to be playing then I would have been prepared for it.
