If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.

I practice at home, in between phone calls, and have much to do.

One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.

We used to drink an awful lot of alcohol.

So I have the classic amateur's technique; I know some very tricky bits and I have large gaping holes.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.
