It may be better to have a life than a career. After 35 years of doing this thing we call folk music(a profession that really didn't exist 100 years ago) I'd rather be hanging out with the people the music was for and about. Not that I don't love my folk family, they may be the only real family I have. But the trouble with being on the road is that you tend to get a very narrow view unless you are very, very careful.
