For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.

The sudden passing of Jack Bruce is terribly sad news. One of the greatest rock bassists to ever live and a true and profound inspiration to countless musicians. He was one of my first bass heroes and was a major influence on my playing and my music. My heartfelt condolences to his family and fans.

Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups - you'd get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there's discussions about what you should and shouldn't be doing. The minute you announce that you're recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.

For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.

I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.

If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.

Music is all about wanting to be better at it.
