Oh, great.
All of the memories.
Do you still get a surge of memories when you play songs like Mr.
Tambourine Man or
Turn Turn Turn?
Yeah.
Well, see, the one thing about a song like Tambourine Man is that lyrically, the poetry,
I really respect that much.
I don't lose a feeling for it.
Every time I sing it, I kind of get a little excited by the lyrics themselves.
I think it's a beautiful piece of poetry.
Do you remember the first time that you performed that one?
Yeah, I remember the very first time that we did Tambourine Man.
We got an acetate record that was sent to us from Bob Dylan when he had just written the song.
He made just a little quick demo of it.
He sent us the song and then we messed around with it for a while and worked it up and played it.
I believe it was down at a studio in Los Angeles when we first did it.
You loved it.
Yeah, we did.
You knew it was going to be a success.
Sort of.
With the Fibers, do you play much of the old stuff?
Well, we have a lot of new things that we're doing.
There is a new album coming out.
So we're doing a mixture of some of the old things.
Some of the standard songs like Eight Miles High, Feel a Whole Lot Better, Tambourine
Man, things like that.
I believe that I'm cursed to play them for the rest of my life.
You're still lucky that you are.
I only said that as a joke.
But I'm sure that no matter how long I'll be doing this, I'll probably never get away
from playing those songs.
Is it difficult or different?
I guess the industry is very different now from when you first began.
Amazingly different.
Basically it's still the same thing.
If you have the drive and the talent and you really want to do something with it, you will
eventually find a way if you stick with it.
But these days the competition is for as young people who are really talented, people who
have a tremendous amount of musical education.
The young musicians I meet today are so highly educated and sophisticated.
And that's different, isn't it?
That's the different part.
But they're still talented.
They still are.
That's good to know.
