The music pot is broad. It's just unfortunate that the record companies cry the blues as frequently as they do.

I can be whatever it takes to be a folksinger. Folk music to me, if we had to have a definition, is portable music. A lot of what I do is flash, gesture, athletics, but what it comes down to is getting across a melody that will help it stick to your ribs, and being able to take it from town to town.

I tell people I'm big in the music business like a barnacle is big in shipping.
