And the meek shall inherit the earth.

There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me.

Then, once I have lyrics, being able to shape them around a song is nothing new for me, I've been doing that for 25 years. The soul searching part of it, the spontaneous part of it, that was, and remains, a really terrific process.

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

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

Music is all about wanting to be better at it.

It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.
