The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game.

I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.

I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I.

Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.
