My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.

I'm not a jazz singer.

As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It's not a style that's difficult to pick up. It's purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with.

There is not a lot that keeps me glued to the radio as I used to be.

I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.

I was a guitar player first off.

From the time I moved to San Francisco in 1967 to play with the Steve Miller Band, there was a lot of support in the music community for one cause or another, but this one was special because it was put on by people who understood where musicians hearts are.
