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

The power of music just kinda kills all those ills; it cures everything and you’ve got more energy just from the music. And, I’ve never seen it fail. It’s good for ya; real good for ya.

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

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

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

New York, it was an adult portion. It was an adult dose. So it took a couple of trips to get into it. You just go in the first time and you get your ass kicked and you take off. As soon as it heals up, you come back and you try it again. Eventually, you fall right in love with it.

We're all dealt with the same hand here, so to speak. I feel like I've had it a lot better than most people. I've had the opportunity to travel and play music all my life.
