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.

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

Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

I listen to Bill Stewart play the drums and when I have finished doing that, I listen to Bill Stewart.

I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.
