Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another; and I would try and play it.

With the recognition comes additional responsibility, because then we're no longer a one-shot. We're now part of the environment.

If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.

There are any number of things that survive great, and don't need any kind of consciousness, so why bother going through all the trouble of evolving monkeys that don't run very well or climb very fast or have particularly sharp teeth, but have big heads.

In my own musical existence I don't feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician. Playing in a group, I'm tending to think more about the music and less about the guitar. That's just me getting older. I'm not interested in being a virtuoso guitar player or anything like that.
