Some thoughts went through my head about recording some stuff that had influenced me earlier in my career like blues and early rock. But it didn't seem to really make sense at that point - it might have been taken the wrong way. A lot of people already had been into that trip.

Do you remember the time darlin' when everything made more sense in the world? Oh I remember, I remember... when life made more sense... Take me back, take me back, take me way back... to when life made more sense.

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.

I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.

And I shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high, on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky. and i will never grow so old again, and i will walk and talk, in gardens all wet with rain.

I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
