My mother wanted me to be a concert pianist.

Providence School of Art students used to sneak into P Funk concerts.

I was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and no one had ever taught anybody that young, back in those days.

I was known around the college for jamming in the lounge.

The Pigtronix Envelope Phaser pedal is a definite 'must have' for your Funk recipe cookbook......it adds definite Funkaliciousness to your WOO stew.

We used to have a main female vocalist. But she had a baby. Now we do the singing ourselves.

I got private lessons in keyboard at Julliard, before New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.
