"Ever since I heard Bet Jansch's album Luck Thirteen, I wanted to be a guitar player.  But, life in the suburbs and well meaning members of my family tried to steer me towards college and a more practical career.  About the time I graduated from university with a degree in geography (oh that sounds practical), my first album, Turning: Turning Back, came out.  My career was born.  I could use my college education to find places on the map, go there, and play my guitar.  The first years of being a recording artist passed in ignorant bliss.  I was succeeding with almost no formal musical training, and I didn't have a clue about how the music business works.  I tuned the guitar funny and didn't even think about what notes I was playing.  It was a great place to be.  Since those days I've become painfully aware of what I don't know.  Now I'm a student of music.  Learning is discovering how little you know.  I feel like I'm starting all over again every day."
