Historically, I believe I was correct in refusing to answer their questions.

Hope that there are many, many small leaders.

When I got out of school, I spent two years just hitchhiking around. Every time I met some old farmer who could play banjo, I got him to teach me a lick or two. Little by little, I put it together.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

Sometimes you find an old tune so good you can use it several times for different purposes.

I have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what religion or color of their skin, or situation in life.

Some may find them merely diverting melodies. Others may find them incitements to Red revolution. And who will say if either or both is wrong? Not I.
