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.

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.

The whole trip that happened in the late 60s and 70s was kind of a throwback to a lot of folk styles. I got into it as well 'cause I started with the folk styles.

Jazz goes into folk music, into rock music. Jazz is in practically everything except classical music where they're reading the same music all the time, the same way, the same tempo every night.
