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

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

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

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.

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

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.

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