"I have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist."

Thought

Leo Kottke
"I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library."

Forget

Quote_1.png
Leo Kottke
"I 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."

Time

Leo Kottke
"I do have a library of events I can talk about and I always expect to find a different point of view on it so even if I talk about the same event in the same town it's fresh."

Events

Quote_1.png
Leo Kottke
"It is not a mystical thing, however, it is obvious and practical and I think that what the performer does is to try to get to that point with every choice you make from the phrasing in a tune to the choice of tunes."

Choice

Leo Kottke
"When 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."

"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."

Performance

Quote_1.png
Leo Kottke
"I would say that if you don't feel like talking to the crowd something is wrong and if you force yourself to talk to them things will happen and to that extent things aren't choreographed."

Force

"I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano."

Guitar

Leo Kottke
"I'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!"
