This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes i would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.

In the united states, many people said you can't have folk music in the united states because you don't have any peasant class. but the funny thing was, there were literally thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who loved old time fiddling, ballads, banjo tunes, blues played on the guitar, spirituals and gospel hymns. these songs and music didn't fit into any neat category of art music nor popular music nor jazz. so gradually they said well let's call it folk music.

I'm obsessed - not just interested, obsessed - with folk music, street music, the parallels between a country's street music and its so-called classical and intellectual music, the way certain scales have travelled right across the globe. all this ethnological and musical interaction fascinates me. have you heard any trance music? that's the thing.
