You Have A Right To

When You Play The 12-string Guitar,you Spend Half Your Life Tuning The Instrument And The Other Half Playing It Out Of Tune.

A Good Song Can Only Do Good, And I Am Proud Of The Songs I Have Sung. I Hope To Be Able To Continue Singing These Songs For All Who Want To Listen, Republicans, Democrats, And Independents.

I Am Saying Voluntarily That I Have Sung For Almost Every Religious Group In The Country, From Jewish And Catholic, And Presbyterian And Holy Rollers And Revival Churches.

Long Live Teachers Of Children, Because They Can Show Children How They Can Save The World.

My Mother Wanted Me To Learn How To Read Music. She'd Given Fiddles To My Two Older Brothers, But They'd Rebelled. I Came Along And My Father Said, "oh, Let Peter Enjoy Himself." What She Did Was Leave Musical Instruments All Around The House. Whistles, Marimbas, Squeeze Boxes, A Piano And Organ. By Age Six Or Seven, I Could Bang Out A Simple Tune On Almost Anything. I Developed A Good Ear, So I Didn't Learn To Read Music Until I Taught Myself At Age Eighteen, 'cause I Was Hearing So Many Good Songs I Couldn't Possibly Remember Them All.
