I love the farm, I love growing stuff.

I love the farm, I love growing stuff.

I've gone through guys who want to lay on their backs and play like they're full of themselves. You know, I don't care about posing. I mean look at me, do I care about posing?

I am just a guy who plays drums.

I made that decision back in 1985. I was out here getting certified in SCUBA with Garcia in Kona and I thought to myself, this is a place to wake up in in the morning.

I care about being able to play. If you're playing with integrity in the music, then that's what matters. But it wasn't that great for me because it was kinda like going back into the old times without the guy.

My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument.
