Some of our friends came and sat in with us, and it was just so much fun. We said, "Hey, let's do this once in a while." We did them every year for a while, then we took it on the road. We've done eighteen now, I think. |
The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album. |
We can get rid of red tape. |
We can look forward to some real benefits |
We can no more blame it on good Middle Eastern citizens than we can blame Hitler on people of German descent, |
We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started. |
We never envisioned this much stuff. I'm overwhelmed by the support out there for the troops, ... only one company that will remain nameless turned us down. |
We played everything from "White Sports Coat" to Bill Haley and the Comets - whatever happened to be the "in music" at the time. |

Well, I just can't play the game anymore. I'm 63 years old, and I've been in the business for 40 years now. I take good advice and direction really well, but I don't need somebody that finished college two years ago to come in and tell me what I should be recording. |
When somebody like Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan would come to town, I would do a session. I did a few country sessions, but not a lot. I played with Marty Robbins. When Bob [Johnston] had somebody that he felt that I fit in with, he'd give me a call. |
