By the time The Band did The Last Waltz, the chemistry had changed, and it wasn't a thrill anymore to live that studio kind of life.

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.

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met.

My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.

If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.

Good times don't last long sometimes.
