Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I think the ordinary guy has just as much right to say 'This is a good song' as somebody who is in the music business.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.

It wasn't until Duotones that I felt my true voice come out.

That's my ideal day, time with my boys.

I think everybody has to kind of decide what the word 'jazz' means to them, and that's fine.

I just started as a part of the public school music program. I took lessons at the school every Friday and was a part of the school band. I was just a normal kid taking instrumental lessons at school, nothing special.
