american-musician bad fact good hard means songs work written
I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I've written that you never hear.
song player good-man
That song has the full extent of my mandolin abilities; I'm not a good mandolin player at all.

There's no way to overstate how cool this is,

I don't know that all the demons have been beaten, but I'm very, very proud of those songs.
american-musician eye musicians studio trying
On Eye of the Zombie, I just got some studio musicians who were competent, but some of them weren't right for what I was trying to do.

We heard rumors over the years that Fantasy was on the market, but nothing materialized,

The only sliding I did was on the kind of instrument that you put on your lap; no Spanish electrics.
acquired expressed figured finally great heard julie met norman people respect rumor time work year
About a year ago we heard the same rumor again, so Julie and I met with Norman and Hal, and other people at Concord, just to get acquainted. At our first meeting, they expressed great respect and appreciation. When they finally acquired Fantasy, we figured the time was right to see if we could work together.

The ones I have got great necks; of course, all of the Fenders from that era are incredible.
american-musician belongs guy lasting singing sitting song sounds telling wonderful wrote
I wrote that song for my wife, and it's what some guy who's sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that's more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack.
american-musician knew time
I went pretty much for one tone, and I knew at that time that I wanted to play a Rickenbacker.

I always assumed I would meet him. I never got to touch base from my heart to his heart, and I'm sure that millions of us felt the same way.

body fantasy hal happiness happy history hold honoring meeting music norman people reunited revival songs touch wrote
I'm very happy to be back in touch with a part of myself. It's surreal. For 35 years, I never thought I'd be reunited with the music I wrote during the Creedence Clearwater Revival years. After meeting with Norman Lear, Hal Gaba, and Glen Barros (President of Concord), I'm happy to say that the new Fantasy is very enthusiastic about my body of work. All the people there have been delightful. They are honoring my songs that hold an important place in the history of American music. And, they are honoring me.
