58 Quotes by Roger McGuinn

I love being a troubadour. I travel around the world with my wife and play little theaters. We have a ball.

I went to school for folk music back when I was a teenager and learned hundreds of songs.

Once I've written a song, I sometimes refine them.

People have told me that other artists have been influenced by my music, and it's flattering. It's a wonderful thing.

I got into computers back in the early '80s, so it was a natural progression of learning about e-mail in the mid-'80s and getting into the Internet when it opened up in the early '90s.

I'd like to be remembered as a keeper of the flame who kept traditional music alive, because I've been doing that twice as long as I was in the Byrds.
