Im also working on a track for Howard Hewett, and a theme for a new NPR show.

I'm really looking forward to playing in Copenhagen again. Last time I stayed as long as I could, took pictures, signed autographs, and hung out until they through me out of the place!

Artists, whether they're classical musicians or pop musicians, they have always been the reflection of society, and in many ways a healing part of whatever is wrong in society, and I think it's important for us to continue to do that, and I don't see enough of it today.

The majority of the people I work with are more than musicians and singers, they are personal friends and friends help each other.

At the end of '69 I did a gig with Jean Luc Ponty here in L.A. He was an electric violinist.

I mean this record does not sound like somebody's maiden voyage.

When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album.
