The thing that struck me most was the man and his son who sang at the teeny festival. They were so awful. And he was talking to his wife on the phone, saying, people were coming and talking to us and telling us we did a great job.

And I thought........ do people tell me that just to be nice? Probably some of them do. It's the way people are.

The little old man in Tennessee, I thought wasn't such a bad writer.

I used to sing in a trio with a friend of mine, and we shared so many writers nights with people not unlike those in this program. If I never do another writers night again, unless it's with people I know, I'll be happy.
