Rick Danko Musician Quotations

You have to remember the band played from 1960 to 1965, every night. You get into a rut playing nightclubs every night, and you didn't want to run it into the ground.

The Band is sounding real good. We've been doing some dates together and they've been going well.

I started working with Bob in 1965. We did go through a lot of changes from 65 to 74, a lot of changes. By 1974, everything had straightened itself out.

Just this last year, I made the statement by hooking up with Greenpeace. By not only contributing money, but by contributing more my time.

Well, it's just always the same. It's the same arrangements. It's the same if I'm playing bass, if I'm playing guitar, if I'm playing piano.

Bob wrote the song during The Basement Tapes time period; we put it on Music From Big Pink. Richard did a great job singing it in falsetto.

It's hard for me to sit around and discuss what I do - I'm used to hearing other people talk about what I do - It makes me very uncomfortable.
