Welcome to the show, Michael.
It's good to be here.
I wanted to talk to you about, you've been making music for almost 50 years now,
and your music has always had humor in it.
Over the course of your career, did people have trouble categorizing you because of that?
Because it seemed like early on, folk was pretty serious.
Yeah, [E] yeah.
It was hard for me to crack the market back in the day.
Yeah.
[F#] People would say, well, he plays really good, but what the hell is it?
I like that song a lot because I enjoy eating.
So do I.
It's one of my big [C#] pursuits.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
It's just a hobby for me.
Just respect my hobbies.
So your debut album, First Songs, was released in 1964.
So what would you say is the best thing that's happened to folk music since you began your career?
I think they let women start making songs.
[D] It [A] was a long, gradual transition, but now there are lots of women out there [F#m] writing songs.
Yeah, beautiful female folk singers.
[F#] In the 60s, it was kind of a man's world.
I think Joni Mitchell was the first one who became popular who wrote her own songs.
You reissued 100 copies of your album Blue Navigator on 8-track.
True.
On an 8-track tape.
[D] So what was the reasoning behind doing that on 8-track?
Well, I'm sort of a fan of 8 [F#]-tracks.
I collect them.
I find them in thrift [D] stores.
Then I find the 8-track players and I fix [E] the players and I fix the cartridges if they don't work.
And it just became sort of a hobby with me.
So people got to realize [A] that a lot of people [N] had 8-tracks to get rid of.
They didn't know what to do with them.
They just put them all in a big box and put them on my doorstep.
I still got a few left.
People want them.
And your next record that's coming up is actually a record that is outtakes of one of your recordings from the mid-60s, right?
Yeah.
The next release I have, which is going to be from Mississippi Records, is called Back Home with Drifting Woods.
That's me.
I'm drifting woods.
Is that you?
Yeah.
That's your pseudonym?
One of them.
I won't ask what your other ones are.
Well, it's been a pleasure having you and we'll see you again later on in the show.
Yeah.
Thanks so much for joining us.
