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

I love both my parents dearly.

After a while I thought it didn't make any sense to use a pick. It's kind of like typing with one finger on each hand instead of using all your fingers.

Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.

If you play jazz, then you play with your fingers. If you're playing rock, you use a pick. There's really no rhyme or reason to that other than that's just the way it has been.

The simple things in life ground me and keep me focused so Im able to do a good job with what is in front of me.

Sometimes I wonder if I got lulled into not wanting things because I grew up black in this country.
