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

Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.

I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

It's not art, it's science.

It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.
