Each song has its own secret that's different from another song, and each has its own life. Sometimes it has to be teased out, whereas other times it might come fast. There are no laws about songwriting or producing. It depends on what you're doing, not just who you're doing.

I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.

My playing is fairly straightforward, really, and everything's pretty much standard no frills or special effects.

I'm also getting an Ovation Legend, because I like them so much.

When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you!

There's so many different worlds.

I used to go to the school folk club with my songs when I was only 13 or so and say "this is a traditional folk song" and sing it with a bad Irish accent to disguise the real source.
