"...I don't know how I came to sound like John Hartford. I think style is based on limitations and I do the very best I can with what little I've got and that's how it comes out. I never tried to manufacture anything, I just try to just sound as good as I can; I would say that my life in music has been a steady thing of trying to teach my hands and my feet and my mouth to reproduce the sounds I hear in my head."

John Hartford talks about the River and it's influence.

...and two of those "wordy" songs he wrote about steamboatin:
steamboat whistle blues, let him go on momma

Meat Wisdom:

"...You teach yourself to wire up your own brain and gut and reproductive organs into one frightening machine that you aim at the planet like a meat gun..."
-Spider Jerusalem


"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.”

“There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry." -
-Mark Twain


Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
-Nat King Cole



"A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. "
-Shakespeare


“One who is addicted to intoxicating drinks and meat eating and leads a sensuous life is a demonic being. Such a person is intensely selfish and has no feeling or consideration for others.”

- Sri Sathya Sai Baba


“I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians.”

- Mahatma Gandhi
