You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.

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

My harmony is passable but is usually made more eloquent at the hands of Steve Hamilton.

I didn't write any music at all, and then, I remember Jon Anderson being very insistent saying that there were two kinds of musicians: the ones who wrote music and the ones who didn't.

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

And we'd drink huge amounts of scotch and coke, which is a ghastly sweet drink... And now people don't drink nearly as much, for good reason. We're all a little wiser.

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.
