Personally, I've found that the kind of thing that I like is going into somebody else's area and not playing their music but doing whatever I do in their area.

I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.

I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

Nowadays, I really like playing in studios.

I think the blues is fine for blues players, but free blues has never made much sense to me.

I don't research anything.

Charlie Appleyard can be anybody; but Ive used him sometimes in chat pieces, and these are all chat pieces about the history of Charlie Appleyard.
