But, what did happen is I went to Woodstock as a member of the audience. I did not show up there with a road manager and a couple of guitars. I showed up with a change of clothes and a toothbrush.

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

I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.

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

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

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.

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