"All I have ever
done with music was to depict various emotions in an organized and
coherent musical language, sometimes very dark emotions...but also
happiness, health, certain types of ecstasy, etc. I achieved this
especially in the song, "Sun Gonna Shine in My Back Door Someday...,
a piece which is bitonal, a la Bartok, Ives and others, but is also
played ragtime-guitar style, a la Mississippi John Hurt and others."
from The Legend of Blind Joe Death |
