“I love finding songs, going through them, tearing them apart, and seeing if I can find anything wrong with them.” Quote by Randy Travis
“Sitting around home I mostly play acoustic. I've got seven or eight guitars of various sorts, including a baritone. Sometimes at home, because a guitar is just lying around, that's the guitar I pick up rather than actually choosing something. I try to plan ahead for my laziness by leaving interesting things scattered about. If I leave a baritone guitar lying around, that's the one I'll pick up, and I'll start writing baritoney things.” IfsWritingTryingSometimesPlayHomeLyingInterestingPlansPicksSittingSevenGuitarLeavingIncludingVariousEightLazinessInteresting ThingsAcousticsSitting AroundBaritones Author:Richard Thompson
“My parents had a sidewalk cafe: every Sunday there was an accordion player and apparently I went through the motions, squeezing a shoebox. One of the regulars in 'the cafe said to my father: "I think you should get your son an accordion-that's what he's trying to do, with that shoebox." So they got me a little cardboard diatonic accordion-I still have it. I started to play the National Anthem, and things like that. It seems I was musically gifted-but my parents just never pushed in that direction.” ThinkingShouldTryingLittlesSaidStillsPlaySeemsFatherParentPlayerSonSundayGiftedSidewalkAnthemYour SonCafesSqueezingAccordionsNational Anthem Author:Toots Thielemans

“I personally don't think of the music as being particularly dark, though many seem to disagree as I often have to answer that question. I try and make the Lustmord sound have a real mass and a tangible presence, which some choose to interpret as dark. It's an interesting distinction. Although there are dark elements interwoven within the whole, it's only one of many textures.” ThinkingTryingRealWholeSeemsSoundDarkAnswersInterestingElementsMassDistinctionDisagreeTextureTangible Author:Brian Williams
