A Good Song Reminds Us What We're

I Came From An Intellectual Family. Most Were Doctors, Preachers, Teachers, Businessmen. My Grandfather Was A Small Businessman. His Father Was An Abolitionist Doctor, And His Father Was An Immigrant From Germany.

Do-so Is More Important Than Say-so.

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.

I Like To Say I'm More Conservative Than Goldwater. He Just Wanted To Turn The Clock Back To When There Was No Income Tax.

I Remember Someone Once Saying, "pete, You Know You Really Should Take Voice Lessons." And I Said, "well, If I Could Find Any Voice Teacher That Could Teach Me To Sing Like Lead Belly I'd Spend Every Cent To Study Under Him." But Every Time You'd Go To A Voice Teacher, He'd Teach You To Warble, As If You'd Want To Be An Opera Singer, And That's Not What I'm Interested In.
