Leo's Song Notes
I'm telling you, when I saw thing song list, I was really impressed. It is a little different that the lists that other people compile, and I was really happy to see that. I think these are really great choices. There is a lot of stuff to plow through, so if there has to be a representative collection, this look good to me".
-- Leo Kottke
Disc 1
The Driving of the Year Nail
"We didn't know about sequencing, so the record (6- and 12 String Guitar) is in the order it was recorded. That was exactly how it went down. "The Driving of the Year Nail" was the first song. The record took 3 1/2 hours to do, and I all had to do was sit down and play everything I ever knew. We did it in a warehouse with sheets hanging around me for a studio. They were sort of the walls. [Laughs.]
In one of Joseph Campbell's books there was a drawing that was reproduced, concerning the Driving of the Year Nail. It was a sperm cell with a man, a woman, a goat, and a small bush in it. [Laughs].
That was the name of some kind of Etruscan calendar celebration. It is about the new year. I think it is Etruscan, even though it seem sunlikely, since we don't know a damn thing about the Etruscans
