About this Quote

Dave Van Ronk was an American folk vocalist and guitarist who was active in the 1960s and 70s. This quote is from an interview he gave up the late 1990s. It reviews his profession in the music industry in the mid-70s. He was feeling exhausted and wished to move on from business. This could be due to the reality that the music industry was changing and he was no longer able to make a living from his music. He was also most likely feeling the results of the long hours and hard work that comes with being an expert artist. It is likely that he was looking for a new difficulty and wished to check out other chances. His choice to leave the music market was likely a difficult one, but it was one that he felt was necessary in order to progress with his life.
