I'd been performing in bands since I was 12 which represented, at that point, about 16 years of playing music.

Skiffle was blues featuring a washboard and acoustic instruments. It encompassed blues, with elements of folk, jazz, and, at times, American country-and-western music.

If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?

Basically I got an insight into what it really was through Alcoholics Anonymous. One day the switchboard lit up and I saw where it was all going. I saw what alcohol could do to people and I saw that it wasn't a good thing anymore. Plus I wasn't a teenager anymore myself.

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.

No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.

Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.
