My stuff was more of a folk coffeehouse thing, with more acoustic guitar, just me doing a single, and then adding on instruments and voices, with emphasis on lyrics and singing and light kind of acoustic jazz.

What resonates with me now is the acoustic guitar and piano.

I love the subtlety and tonal range of the acoustic guitar.

I was just a punk-rock kid who never played acoustic guitar.

I had different bands. I played with the Acoustic Warriors for the most part, without girl singers. It was the same kind of sound, acoustic guitar, bass, with violin and sometimes accordion, and the guys would sing, that kind of thing.

If you can't play it on an acoustic guitar or a grand piano then it's not a song.
