There Have Been People I've Warmed To

Finding Another Way To Do What I Know I Can Do Pretty Well. A Way That Stimulates Me. I'm Always On Some Sort Of Learning Curve. If I Can Continually Be Surprised Then I'm Alert.

Since I Was A Kid, I've Had An Absolute Obsession With Particular Kinds Of American Music. Mississippi Delta Blues Of The Thirties, Chicago Blues Of The Fifties, West Coast Music Of The Mid-sixties - But I'd Never Really Touched On Dark Americana.

The Events Between 1968 And 1980 Were The Kind Of Cornerstone For Everything I've Been Able To Do, They Gave Me The Springboard.

It's Sort Of A Feeling Of Power Onstage. It's Really The Ability To Make People Smile, Or Just To Turn Them One Way Or Another For That Duration Of Time, And For It To Have Some Effect Later On. I Don't Really Think It's Power... It's The Goodness.

Yeah, I Think The Point Has Well And Truly Sunk In By Now, And I Can Just Carry On. I Don't Even Know What I'm Looking For Except A Bit Of Hilarity And Mild Insanity Musically, And I Can Get None Of That By Just Delving Into The History.
