To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.

Given the choice between accomplishing something and just lying around, I'd rather lie around. No contest.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

I did play a lot of fingerstyle when I first started playing. I could never really find the right combination of flatpick or fingerpick, so playing fingerstyle is really the easiest way - though it's quite strenuous on the fingertips.

From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.

Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
