That song has the full extent of my mandolin abilities; I'm not a good mandolin player at all.

Even though I have often recorded alone, I still feel the best music is made by musicians playing off each other.

I don't know that all the demons have been beaten, but I'm very, very proud of those songs.

I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I'd never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners.

I wrote that song for my wife, and it's what some guy who's sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that's more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack.
John Fogerty

I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I've written that you never hear.
John Fogerty

No, but I've always felt that with true talent, and a commitment to hard work, it is possible to achieve an enduring respect and appreciation. In other words, I don't take my fans for granted.

When I made Blue Moon Swamp, there was a lot of trial and error; I was trying to find people who would be simpatico with my style, and with what I had in mind for the album.
