My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18, that was an early equivalent of educational television. Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.

You have to remember now, I was not being terribly successful at going solo.

Sometimes you really dig a girl, the moment you kiss her, And then you get distracted by her older sister.

My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.

The Jug Band was exactly what I wanted to do, and it wasn't my idea.

I'm seeing and hearing lots of B to B instruments, and everybody isn't, you know, using them... a lot of these guys are trying to do it on conventional guitars, although that has its own sound, and maybe its okay.

In other words, musicians know that going back to the Spoonful, what we were doing was not copying.
