With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.

It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.

Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.

With the help of modern technology, I can compose intricate keyboard parts and then I have to go back and learn them in order to perform them properly.

Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.

For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.
