"I used to think when I was a lot younger that just a beautiful sounding voice was all you needed, but I realise now that isn't particularly where it's at. It's just the instrument - like you can have a beautiful sounding Martin guitar, but still not know how to play it - and that's what I mean about a voice. At one point I was so hung up on producing a beautiful sound that I forgot what singing was really all about. The whole point of singing is to tell the story of the song - what's the point of singing words if they don't mean anything?"
- Sandy Denny 1972
