Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.

I plan on doing a lot more work on my own, and discovering and doing more.

I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.

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.

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.

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.

Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.
