We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.

My experience with Buffalo Springfield was that they did not rehearse.

We recorded several of Kenny's songs in the living room of my home.

When Kenny first came to me, I think he was thinking of making a nice little folk record, but in my opinion, folk music had come to an end and I felt he needed to go to the next step, the next generation.

I realized how quickly you could eat up a lot of time and money if you weren't prepared.

At that time, I was signed to Columbia Records as an Independent Producer. I spent many weeks forming, auditioning, rehearsing and recording demos for Kenny, who was finally signed to Columbia Records.
