All along, I did what I was comfortable doing, which was to play the music I enjoyed and try to stretch the parameters a bit. Country and bluegrass and folk were my foundation.

You know what I do on Sundays? I sing in a choir. I sing in a Greek Orthodox choir, and I'm the only hillbilly tenor in the Orthodox Church.

The Squirrel Barkers always have a special place in my heart.

My dad founded the 'Rancho Santa Fe Times' and won a lot of journalism awards.

I was a lucky kid. You could have got 10 kids to be in The Byrds who were better than I was.

The Byrds weren't rock n' roll guys. We were kinda like your Seekers... folkies who took it a step further.
