Everybody I know in England was raised on Mose Allison.

I do the best I can with any instrument I get attracted to. But they're just tools in order for you to express yourself and that's really the upshot of it.

I always make it a point to pick songs on which players really shine.

I keep healthy and I'm always very active and always have been so. I don't really see any signs of aging yet. Music keeps you young.

Check out the albums, ... Check out the live performances. That's the reality of it all. Music is such an energizing thing.

I write songs about real things... The subject dictates the mood and it goes from there, really.
