Scott Simon interviews Jorma Kaukonen. Weekend Edition (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101833728), NPR. Really good. :yes:
"I guess I got seduced by rock 'n' roll for a while," Kaukonen says, "although John Hartford, before he passed away, claimed that the stuff that the Airplane did back then is genuine old-timey music, and he may be right. Maybe it's all folk music.
"I think my first love these days, as it has been most of my life, is wooden music, acoustic guitars," he adds. "If you look at music historically, a lot of things [were] absolutely pop music at the time."
