"Inre the notes and commentors and attitudes about me and my music and recordings i would like to say something. I do not, and have never thought of myself as a folk musician or a new age musician, guitarist, or sympathyzer. I despize all revivalists of folk music, and i despize all New Age music, even thougWill ackerman or some other equally obnoxious person might accuse me of being the grandfather of New age guitar, music, piano or whatever.

I do hope that nobody will try to make me out as a child of the sixties. I was playing what I play before and after sixties. This period had very little influence on me. I was never a hippie, and had no hippie friends. Why in the world don't you call me up if you want to know about these things?"

I love this sound.
