Well, I was born in Scotland and spent the first six years of my life there. Then I went to Newcastle-On-Tyne in northeast England, close to Scotland.

There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.

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

I love Gibsons, and Nationals, too. There's something magical about them.

What I always try to do is to respond to the song; I've always rebelled against theory.

Then came the churches, then came the schools, then came the lawyers, then came the rules.

I shoulda learned to play the guitar.
