I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid.

I mean, I haven’t been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn’t pay attention to that period of music, obviously.

Everywhere I go, I have my little Steinberger, and I like it very well.

Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember.

Glenn Gould was my hero. Glenn Gould was my idol. I loved him.

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

Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage.

I don’t like piano solos.

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.

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.

But there’s a thin line between songwriting and arranging.

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.

I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That’s how I saw him.

I’m not a big jazz fan.

I wish I sang better.

That’s my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business.

My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums.

I don’t learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is.

My memory is not even what most people’s is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.

Piano is like drudgery.

Yeah, I don’t like, um, I’m not interested in rock ‘n’ roll piano. I find it a little grating.

The primary one being, like I said, I don’t like rock ‘n’ roll piano.

Dylan doesn’t have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.

But I can’t say that I didn’t like John Hammond’s performances often better than the originals.

So I guess I had, I think they tell me I had, about three years total of piano lessons, off and on.

I remember certain lines and whose they are.

Duncan Aldrich has been my partner in most recording projects, and touring projects, for the past decade.

You had to go to a different part of town from where I was to get Muddy Waters singles. I had him on singles.

I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid.

I played a lot of real normal, straight sessions.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

Well, I don’t think it ever did, but in the early ’60s I got interested in folk music.

My father was a boxer, though. So, I have a particular interest in Ray Mancini, I think.

Dylan can do no wrong.

I have no guitar technique.

And I think it’s safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard.

Enjoy every sandwich.
