What I do as a songwriter is a constant force in my life, that I'm grateful to have.

When the muse hits me, or the mood, or whatever it is, I get my guitar out and I empty it out. I just start going through things to see what's going to happen.

It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.

I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people

I didn't grow up in a mom-and-pop, Ozzie and Harriet type of environment, but who did.

I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.

I was immediately taken with Geoff Muldaur's rich soulful voice, masterful phrasing and guitar playing when I first heard him.
