I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

I believe that music is God's voice.

I wanted to emulate Bob Flanagan, the high voice in the 'Four Freshmen.' I wanted to sing high like he did.

I'm just a shy and retreating kind of person. Sometimes I get in a real talkative mood - but not very often.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard-working guy.

J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There's a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it's like meditation.

If you're going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it's better to write with collaborators.
