I would ask, "With a talent such as yours, why do you steal other's songs? Namely, "Don't think twice."

I reworked a traditional song that I learned from Paul Clayton. Something that I've always acknowledged.

I learned to take traditional songs and rework them from Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Long before Pete and Woody were doing it, A.P. Carter, Jimmie Rodgers and many others were also doing it. More recently songwriters from U. Utah Phillips to Si Kahn have done the same thing.

Pete Seeger calls it the folk process and he says he wishes more people would do it. Kendall, I don't know why you have a problem with that.
