Send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan.
whose
I remember certain lines and whose they are.
learn possible realize took
It took me 10 years to realize that I don't know 'em, 10 years to realize that it's possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things.
might phobias
Well, first of all, let me say that I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn't pay off.
guess total
So I guess I had, I think they tell me I had, about three years total of piano lessons, off and on.
My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.
box dad discovered few heard late later lyrics months music several sheet sitting song storage tapes tempo until version wrote
This is a song my dad wrote in the late '60s that I discovered in a box of reel-to-reel tapes that were sitting in a storage bin, ... I've had the sheet music for years, but never heard the song until a few months ago and it's one of my favorites. He re-recorded it several years later as 'Steady Rain,' but that was also never released. This version is a combination of the two. It has the tempo and feel, as well as the bridge, from 'Steady Rain,' but the lyrics and instrumentation of 'Warm Rain.'
exquisite influence john later
I also told John Hammond this, 20 years later - to his exquisite embarrassment - that he was like this incredible, overwhelming influence on me.
albums few guess high john lee school
The first few albums I bought, I guess around high school age, I had a John Lee Hooker album and a Bo Diddley album, and then some singles.
song writing play
I write each song individually and each one calls for individual musicians, You sit around and wonder who can we get to play a Neil Young solo, and then you realize there`s a good chance you can get Neil himself.
time blonde dylan
Dylan doesn't have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.
lines songwriting arranging
But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging.
piano solo
I don't like piano solos.
life jazz kind
I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly.
