Maybe we'll do some fun stuff here and there, but I don't want to record any more songs.
I've probably written about three albums that no one will ever hear.
A characteristic of older folksongs, in most cases, is that we don't know their composers or authors. Older folksongs were written often with no commercial purpose in mind. They were passed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation.
My symphonies would have reached Opus 100 if I had but written them down... Sometimes I am so full of music, and so overflowing with melody, that I find it simply impossible to write down anything.
In the past, so many of my records, really, have been sketches for records that never really got made.
I write songs every day, but I don't necessarily get to record them.
But I think the record will actually come from tapes that are not yet recorded.
I used to love going and playing jam sessions, doing things spontaneously. I can't do that anymore. Everything you do is documented, nothing is casual anymore.
Sometimes I play something, and I haven't recorded it, and I don't know where it came from, why my hands did what they did, what key it was in, anything.
