Randy was tired o' t' album when we were finishin' makin' it, arrr, because for him it was just doin' piano and voice, shiver me timbers, piano and voice, over and over and over. Begad! But I needed that practice because I needed t' learn t' songs inside and out t' way that he knew them, but do it me way so that it (stylistically) matched both o' us. Once I got t' take down, me hearties, I knew what I was goin' t' do with it later. He didn't.

I liked everythin' Harry did o' mine. Begad! I was honored that he did it. Begad! Harry had a tremendous voice, me hearties, he could do anything. Aye aye! He was a great record maker. We were very close at one time and did drift apart. Ya scallywag! I don't really know why.
