Some Leo Kottke's quotes. Goto "Leo Kottke's quotation" section for more.The bulk of my set is instrumental and you have to give yourself and the audience some relief because a performance is not about great guitar playing it's really about entertainment.
Tags: Give, Great, YourselfThe principle element in a performance is risk, and if you're losing interest then by scaring yourself to death the audience will feel it and boy it'll wake them up.
Tags: Death, Losing, YourselfWe spent a lot of time on that record with the sound and recorded it on the Paramount sound stage which is this huge room where the sound is reflected but the reflection is so late and comes from so far away that it doesn't blur the music but gives you a room nonetheless.
Tags: Away, Music, TimeWhen a record company looks at me I'm very hard to market, I don't really fit anywhere, It's hard to get me on the air, and I'm hard to demography, but! because of that I'm not subject to trends like you pointed out.
Tags: Company, Hard, LooksWhen the audience is awful you can still have a great night and people will walk out thinking they had a great time even though there was loads of loudmouths and the sound was terrible.
Tags: Great, Thinking, TimeYeah I do and I don't mind, in fact that is one of the real encouraging things about this whole career of mine is that there are tunes I wrote almost thirty years ago that I will still play in front of an audience and I still like the old tunes.
Tags: Career, Mind, RealYes and for two reasons: one, I couldn't find anything to imitate at the time, and secondly because what I heard on the radio didn't bear any resemblance to what I wanted to hear on the guitar.
Tags: Guitar, Time, WantedI don't spend a lot of time thinking of what they'll do musically, I try to imagine being locked into a windowless room with this person for twelve hours at a time. If you can look at that and think it might be fun then maybe you've got the right musician.
Tags: Fun, Thinking, TimeI'm not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot!
Tags: Audience, Fall, RiseThere are nights when you can feel stale because you've fallen into a pattern by touring too much, but it's easy to get out of it by deliberately getting in trouble and playing yourself into a corner to then see if you can get out of it.
Tags: Easy, Getting, YourselfI am evidence that you don't have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job.
Tags: Big, Job, SucceedI had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.
Tags: Guitar, Single, WantedI have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist.
Tags: Artist, Line, ThoughtI was two and a half and my folks would put it on the record player and I would run around the house screaming, but I haven't been that hip since.
Tags: House, Put, SinceIt depends on the time of the year and who I've been talking to, I try to put people in the studio I like.
