I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.

Believe it or not, people went so far as to suggest that I might not be able to write songs anymore because now I am married. I tried to explain again that there are other things to write about besides boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy breaks up with girl, girl is sad.

What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.

The perfect man? A poet on a motorcycle.

I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.

I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.

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