Entertainment is about telling everybody that everything is alright but music is on the side of the upsetters and that's where I'm at.

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.

Second edition of Earthworks I have the more traditional compositional approach, namely I write a piece from the piano.

The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape.

This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.
