The most important thing is to follow your instinct and get involved with some friends who have similar taste and aspirations and like music as much as you do.

Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players.... male and female.

These days there's so much technology and ways you can learn. There are videos and CD roms.

I play the piano a lot at home, I write songs on the piano and guitar. I would like to actually play piano on stage... I don't think I'll get the chance for a while.

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce

Maybe if I go far enough back into my ancestry, I have African roots or something. I've got no idea

I've never stopped learning.
