 I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs. |
| People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set. |
| I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references. |
| It's totally different. I usually don't tell people about the Pleased if they know me from the harp. And if they are there to see the Pleased, I usually don't tell them about the harp. I am nervous that these people will expect something similar. |
| Well, yeah, I wanted to resist the urge to thicken everything up with instrumentation, because I just felt like I was interested in seeing how the songs did on their own. |
| I have a recording that I did of instrumental songs. |
| I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple. |
| I definitely don't subscribe to the theory that more instruments, or more vocal tracks, harmony, or double tracking the voice, is a good thing. People do their early albums very stripped down, then each album becomes bloated. |
| I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn't have any money. I wouldn't want to do that forever. |
| I am producing sounds that people are not used to hearing from the harp. |
