What I've always lacked is a really strong band to back me up.

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

It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released

I had to learn chord shapes... I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music.

I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.

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

I do to keep things sounding fresh. Sometimes just changing the running order of the show is a good idea.
