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.

Send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan.

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.
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.'

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.

Dylan doesn't have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.
lines songwriting arranging
But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging.

I don't like piano solos.

I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly.
