Accepted Quote by Leo Kottke

“I'm not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot!” quote by Leo Kottke — Download Open image
