Leo Kottke

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."

Time

"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."
