Exactly

"One thing can be said and that is that I am no longer sure of anything. I think I’m pretty safe there. Though it may be that I am perfectly certain on all matters. It’s difficult. But to make some sort of sensible beginning, I’ll speak of a definite time in my youth. As a boy I spent five years making a nine inch by four inch by two inch wooden box. Whilst others worked on their canoes, wardrobes, and garden sheds, I laboured on my box. And it was a proud day that I held the finished article up before my eyes. I took it to show the master and he said it was the most miserable piece of woodwork he had ever seen and destroyed it with a mallet. So it was that I turned away from all creative pursuits, until now, when I begin to fashion something for myself something of my own. Though this time I shan’t be taking so long about it. I intend to get it over with very quickly. And this is it. My first attempt since the box. I’ve told you the worst. If you want to turn away now, it’s up to you. It’s a gamble. There’s always the possibility I might drag on for years as with the box. But I don’t think so, for I’m getting fed up already. But to continue: This time when I’m finished, I’ll just leave it lying around for anybody to see. I won’t take it like a fool to show anybody. Oh no, I’ve become wary of mallets…"-Bill Fay, from the liner notes to his first LP, 1970
