The Cyrkle (promo)

Greetings to the Circle. Hello. Very nice to be here. Hello. Do you feel your music is folk rock? Oh, I guess folk rock would cover it. I think that's a term that somebody made up as an after-the-fact thing.

You have been using the string instruments more and more. What about the sitar, Tom? We featured it on Turn Down Day, but I'm not delving into the sitar too deeply. too deeply. It's something that I enjoyed the sound of and we fooled around with a little bit. But to really get to play the guitar, you have to practice just like the guitar and

practice for ten years and get into the whole raga mystic thing. It's not only your fingers but it's your head. How do you practice? Could you tell us don't? Well it depends what we're practicing. If we're practicing a new song, it will be done pretty much out of our heads like Carmel have an idea and he'll say, Don, why don't you sing

this part and then he'll sing another part along with me and then he'll tell Marty to sing another part and we'll just see how it sounds. How long does it take you to write a piece of music?

For instance, how long did it take you to write? Oh, money to burn. The first two verses were written in about five minutes. Are you serious Don? The bridge. We had to sit around and talk about it for a while, so that was maybe a half hour.

And the last verse was also about a half hour of sitting and talking. How did you choose the Red Rubber Balloon, which has been such a hit, that was written by Paul Simon? Well Paul wrote this Red Rubber Balloon song along with Bruce Woodley of the Seekers.
