Everybody Cryin' Mercy / When They Don't

I Start Out With Words, With The Idea, The Line. Then After I Get A Line Or Two, I Try To Find What Melodic Line Those Lines Would Be Suited To. As Soon As I Find The Form I Can Finish The Song In My Head.

The Thing Of Playin' And Singin' Never Bothered Me.

I'm Happy Whenever Anybody Does My Material. I Don't Care What They Do With It. I Do What I Want To With Other People's Songs.

I'm Improvising All The Time. Everything I Do Is Improvised. On The Piano, At Least.

I'm Playin' Music For A Certain Type Of Person. Fortunately, There Are More And More Of Us. At Least There Are More Comin' To See Me Than There Were 30 Years Ago Or So.
