Music Is The One Thing That Has

I'm Obsessed - Not Just Interested, Obsessed - With Folk Music, Street Music, The Parallels Between A Country's Street Music And Its So-called Classical And Intellectual Music, The Way Certain Scales Have Travelled Right Across The Globe. All This Ethnological And Musical Interaction Fascinates Me. Have You Heard Any Trance Music? That's The Thing.

I Guess The Solo From 'achilles Last Stand' Is In The Same Tradition As The Solo From 'stairway To Heaven'...it Is On That Level To Me.

But To Put Out A Greatest Hits On One Cd Was Totally Impossible, I Just Couldn't Do It. The Best Compromise Was To Put Out Two Cds - Early Days - Which Is What It Is - And Latter Days.

My Finger Picking Is Sort Of A Cross Between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, And Total Incompetence.

Everything That Came Later... The Roots Are All There In The First Album.
