As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.

There was a conflict - the actual putting together of the reality of the situation didn't seem to gel. I'd been doing kind of a slow ballad type of thing on records, but when it came to performing, I felt I was limiting myself.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.

If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.

I wanted to find out why I wasn't getting off on what I was doing and try and make some sense out of the evolution of it.

I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.
