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.

Lord, when the song wants to pick up and go a little faster towards the end, it's hard for me to resist.

Good times don't last long sometimes.

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

A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.

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.
