I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.

Yes, I love to play drums and bass and guitar and piano. Those are the main instruments I play. That is it.

I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.

When you do a song new live on stage, it's kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It's still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.

There's not much you can do with a ukulele that doesn't sound happy.

It was so simple in the old days. You put out an album, people promoted it, it got in the charts, and you had a hit.

Live shows are fun - sometimes. But you have to practice for months on end.
