GLENN
YARBROUGH
Mercer University will host the
famed guitarist, Glenn Yarbrough,
in Willingham Chapel tonight at
7:30 P.M. In a recent interview
Glenn answered the following
questions:
QUESTION: Do you consider
yourself a folksingor?
■v
ANSWER: “I am very grateful
to folk music in many ways. It has
made people more musically aware
and has made people listen more
carefully to the lyrics of songs
But I don't , want to be categorized
as a “folk singer" because I aim-,
ply am not I sometimes sing with
a folk flaver, but 1 will sing any
song ns long as it means something
to me musically and especially
lyrically. I guess you could say
I sing somewhere between folk and
folk rock However, sometimes I
sing pop, too. Most of all, I just
consider myself an entertainer "
QUESTION: How do you feel
about being an entertainer?
ANSWER: "Well, it's had a
strange effect- on me It hardly
seems fair to earn so much for
singing a few songs so when I'm
performing I actually feel as
though I'm loafing Mv i>arents
were once social Workers and I
guess it rubbed off on me Even
though doing tours and concerts
is exhausting I can't bring myself
to consider it work Once the per
forming is over you have nothing
to show for it. 1 feel hard wogk
should produce something a little
more tangible than financial gain."
QUESTION: What then would
be your ideal way of life?
ANSWER: “I’ve always wanted
to teach. I got into entertainment
by accident. Everything I do now
is done primarily to raise enough
money to start a school for or
phaned children from all over the
world. I'm sure that teaching in
that school would be my ideal way
of life."
QUESTION: I know you're a
sailor at heart. What has happened
to your plans to tail around the
world?
