As far as current inspiration, I'm listenting to a lot of flamenco, because the techniques used for flamenco can be adapted to playing bass.
I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.
I've been an amature inventor for a long time.
History has repeated itself many times througout the ages.
I love a lot of reggae, but Ive never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys.
It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much.
