The things I really learned, I learned from watching my parents. They take care of business. Always have.

Dad made it to Gold Shield Detective, so he always busted Robin, my oldest brother, and me. Always got caught, whatever we were doing.

I was playing violin for a long time, about 6 years. It takes a while. You need very patient people in your house when you have a violin.

I love both my parents dearly.

I feel very honored to be playing with Bill Pierce. He's such a great musician.

I had the fortunate experience to play with people from different schools of music. Sam Rivers is from the fundamentalist school of music.

The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.
