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

I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.

I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.

I'm a big believer of daylight in the studio.

My studio is designed for atmosphere. I have a really cozy, comfortable room that has a great, huge glass door that views my backyard.

I'm always scouring the universe for great old instruments from the '50s and early '60s. That's really, for me, the golden age of basses, when they had just been invented within 10 years of that period and they had just started to come into their own, especially the old Fender jazz basses and old Rickenbackers and Gibsons. I'm always on the lookout. It's fun.

So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.
