I'm into scales right now.
Starting in the middle of a musical sentence and moving in both directions at once.
All of the technique doesn't matter... only if the feeling is right.
I want to be the force which is truly for good.
I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing . . . the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there's some feeling of communication, it isn't necessary that it be understood.
Considering the great heritage in music that we have - the work of the giants of the past, the present, and the promise of those who are to come - I feel that we have every reason to face the future optimistically.
