Charlie Byrd

“We would play, then they would play a set, then we would jam on the last song.”

“A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.”

“The guitar chose me.”

“A musician has to find a way to make his music mean something special - spiritually or however you can.”

“That jam was so much fun that by the end of the tour, we just jammed on all of the songs.”

“Music's not like becoming a doctor, who can walk into a community and find people who need him.”

“And a musician has to learn to be frugal and to carefully manage financial affairs.”
