You know, your ears record. You might can sing a song once you hear it.

My music is simple stuff. Anybody can sit down, look at a set of symbols and produce sounds the music represents.

Looking hard for a drive in, searching for a corner cafe, where the hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day.

Sometime we'll try and reach for things we know we each want and don't deserve.

If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.

Don't let the same dog bite you twice.

You don't just go to the studio and say, 'I'm going to write a hit.' It becomes a hit when people like your compositions.
