Loudon Wainwright III : (2) " The big things in the average person’s life are the romances that they have – and then the destruction and loss of them. Parents, siblings, children, the death of parents, family tension… these are monumental things. They struck me as being interesting to write about. I didn’t have a very exotic life, but all this stuff happened to me. " - Loudon Wainwright III " I don’t think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on. " - Loudon Wainwright III
