I'm Also Getting An Ovation Legend, Because

There Happened To Be Guitar Classes At The College, And There Was A Guitar Teacher There With Whom I Used To Play. In Addition, I Also Would Go Out Into Country Schools And Teach Little Kids Basic Guitar And Singing A Few Times A Week.

I Was Into Playing American Music, Especially The Blues.

I Used To Go To The School Folk Club With My Songs When I Was Only 13 Or So And Say "this Is A Traditional Folk Song" And Sing It With A Bad Irish Accent To Disguise The Real Source.

While I Was Into Many Different Types Of Music, And Played With Many Different Local Groups, I Really Didn't Have A Band To Call My Own Until Dire Straits Was Formed In 1977.

Each Song Has Its Own Secret That's Different From Another Song, And Each Has Its Own Life. Sometimes It Has To Be Teased Out, Whereas Other Times It Might Come Fast. There Are No Laws About Songwriting Or Producing. It Depends On What You're Doing, Not Just Who You're Doing.
