I've developed an audience over the years and I don't want to loose them.

I also hope that with the assistance and expertise of Dome Records, that I will be able to further pierce the UK and European market. I really like playing there and I want to do more! I've found that the audiences get quite involved and really listen to what's happening.

I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.

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.

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

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

I work with many jazz artists as Miles Davis, Laughlin, etc.. One of the things all these artists had in common is that they had no fear.
