Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that.

I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.

But I say these things in an objective dispassionate manner because, you know, and I can't explain why, but being one of the greatest guitarists in the world simply is not very important to me.

So I learnt a few country western songs, I bought a chord book, and right away I started writing my own stuff, which nobody else did that, I don't know why.

How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know.

Being worshipped is a horrible experience.

I was using them as teachers for technique but I was never trying to be a folk.
