“I took some lessons as a kid but trained myself by ear. I did it the way jazz musicians used to learn years ago, which is to play records and slow them down to figure out the notes.

“Early on, before rock 'n' roll, I listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. We had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. The radio/record player played 78rpm records. When we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. It was Bill Monroe, or maybe it was the Stanley Brothers. I'd never heard anything like that before. Ever. And it moved me away from all the conventional music that I was hearing.” BigsHouseParentRecordsPlayerHeardRocksBrotherBandRedBillsMovedRadioHearingLabelsHotelRock N RollConventionalStanleyJukeboxRecord Players Author:Bob Dylan
“Again there are so many records which contain fond memories and music and songs of which I have to say I am quite proud. There are a couple of tracks which in retrospect on which I now wish I had pushed the red button, however I'm sure this is true of any artist career that has spanned the number of years that mine has. I do not believe however that I have ever made a bad record and I have certainly never made a record to which I didn't give my complete commitment.” GivingYearsBelieveMadeArtistSongWishMemoriesNumbersCareersRecordsMinesProudCoupleCommitmentRedTrackButtonsRetrospectFond Memories Author:Greg Lake
