Kottke sings less than he used to. John Fahey told him he couldn't sing. He made one CD called "One Guitar, No Vocals."

That's only part of it. The complete description was "Geese farts on a muggy day" (It's way worse on a muggy day).

That's only part of it. The compleat description was "geese farts on a muggy day while Turks piss in your face and street urchins claw at your coat and you realize your fire insurance policy was a sham"

Early Kottke song lyrics:

Furry Jane

She's long and tender, got an icy heart 
She lives in the mountains, makes the mountains bark 
To see her in the evening when the moon is high 
Makes a mad man shiver, a lover cry

She's mother to affliction, got to sooth our kind 
In her eyes are the secrets of the tortured minds 
Her breast is enchanted with the lover's tale 
Where courage trembles, where vision fails

She rides on confusion and she flies in the storm 
On her unknown promises from hunger born 
Her song is resentment and her judgement plain 
For her lover redemption, her children pain

She's long and tender, got an icy heart 
She lives in the mountains, makes the mountains bark 
To see her in the evening when the moon is high 
Makes a mad man shiver, a lover cry
