My first record came out in 1961 and then I had one come out in 1962 and then I had two that came out in 1964.

But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.

I wanted to make a record that people could put on year after year after year, and it would never feel dated.

Well the way I ended up with my own record is that I did this concert at Wesleyan University. It was just one night and we had no thought of making a record.

We recorded the record on a Saturday afternoon March 30th and I heard the record for the first time on April 6th. I was driving to school, literally seven days later.

You don't always have to have a record out. I'm not a sausage factory, you know, turning out records every year.

I don't think about records.

My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.

In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn't.

We never threw a record together. Each record was done really seriously, as if our life depended on it.
