Martin Simpson Quotes

Yeah, there are a million stories to tell about that record. I have really felt that over the last four to five years that I should make a live record because I really like what happens when you play live, but the difficulty in recording live is that it�s difficult to get something that you�d want to listen to. It�s really much more difficult to record a live album than you would imagine.

You know the way I feel about that is that I started playing guitar when I was twelve years old and at that point I said to myself I wanted to do it for the rest of my life and if I do anything else but this it will interfere so I must do it for a living. I am now 44 , so for almost thirty years professionally all I�ve done is what I love to do , and as far as I am concerned that is such a privilege. My last tours of Canada and England were 90% sold out and yes, some of the venues are small but I�m my own boss, I am a privileged human being. I would love to land a big soundtrack or something that would make a big financial difference because the main problem is not in any way artistic at all , every once in a while you think �hey I�d like a little more security�.
