I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.

Unless you go forward then you are going back.

You want each city to be different, not just see the same shopping malls and stores wherever you go. That's not healthy.

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.

As long as people want to hear me play and as long as I'm able to play, then I will. I enjoy playing and performing. If I wasn't doing that, what else would I do?

I love touring in the United States. It's dramatically different wherever you go. North to south you're going from snow to palm trees.

I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.
