I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.

Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music.

Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.

Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.

The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.

What I remember most are some of the guys in the background - who they were and what kind of times we had during those days on the set. I remember staying at Mikes house in Hollywood when we first started filming the series. It was the upper story of a two-story building on a little hillside. Mikes wife, Phyllis, was wonderful. Mike and I laughed a lot and played music together. I remember that time very fondly.

My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.
