The World Will Be Solved By Millions

I Remember Someone Once Saying, "pete, You Know You Really Should Take Voice Lessons." And I Said, "well, If I Could Find Any Voice Teacher That Could Teach Me To Sing Like Lead Belly I'd Spend Every Cent To Study Under Him." But Every Time You'd Go To A Voice Teacher, He'd Teach You To Warble, As If You'd Want To Be An Opera Singer, And That's Not What I'm Interested In.

He [alan Lomax] Started Right Off Trying To Find People Who Could Introduce Folk Songs To City People. He Found A Young Actor Named Burl Ives And Said, "burl, You Know A Lot Of Great Country Songs Learned From Your Grandmother, Don't You Know People Would Love To Hear Them?" He Put On Radio Programs. He Persuaded Cbs To Dedicate "the School Of The Air" For One Year To American Folk Music. He'd Get Some Old Sailor To Sing An Old Sea Shanty With A Cracked Voice. Then He'd Get Me To Sing It With My Banjo.

Being Generous Of Spirit Is A Wonderful Way To Live.

Did You Ever Want Something Really Bad And Then When You Finally Got It All You Could Do Was Stand There And Grin At It?

Do-so Is More Important Than Say-so.
