My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.

Those bad times are important. They give you a chance to practice, listen, take stock, have a life, get your feet back on the ground, and maybe you'll live to tell the story.

I was in high school, trying to get out of high school. The only thing slowing me up was grades.

Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

I like to get within handshaking distance of the crowd. If it happens, they know it, we know it, and that's all we came here for.

I played some Yamaha drums that I like a lot. And I like the Yamaha people a lot too. They've been really nice to me and The Band.
