" i don't like man kind, i like jimmy and jenny, and him and her and different people but man kind are a rotten lot"
-when asked about history in an interview
when asked about politicians he mocked they way they use language
"when they say words like.. socialism.. what do they mean by that, they know it begs an emotional respose.. but with no precision on meaning,, poets do that ... they
give the emotional sense and the intellectual sense"
I'm from Dixie and I live in north Scotland. Awesome to see Dixie Darling being played up here by such an iconic Scotsman. Great video!

My introduction to 5 String Banjo.
I remember when this came out on LP (1971?).
Great stuff. Much nostalgia.......
