"I have some questions about betrayal,â€ I said. â€œThink about this: A person who calls you his best friend, and says he has dinner plans with you, goes off with a beautiful woman, saying heâ€™ll be back directly, then makes you wait half an hour because heâ€™s kissing the woman in the alley. Is that betrayal?â€ â€œOh, Lord.â€ Eldric tossed back his wine."

“I went to high school right outside Dallas, and (songwriter and performer) Michael Martin Murphey was a senior there when I was a sophomore or junior, really into folk and acoustic music. Larry Gross, who's the host of "Mountain Stage" on public radio, and B.W. Stevenson, also a musician, were there at the same time, too. Michael was a big inspiration -- through him I discovered Woody Guthrie, Dylan, Jimmy Rogers. Then I ran into Jerry Jeff Walker there in Dallas back when he was just a folk singer. Those are my earliest influences.”
