I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck.

I think my favorite album was probably Realization.

In 1965, Gibson made the red one I use now, and a black one, which was the first black 335 they ever made.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.

The first time I went to New York, I met Alan Freed.

Alan's publishing company was in the Brill Building, and of course, the Brill Building was where all the songwriters hung out because that's where all the publishers were.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.

When I came back to California in the early '60s I was hanging out with Jimmy Bowen, Phil Spector, and I wanted to be a record producer and work with other artists.
