I've learned that, as much as you would like to, you can't trust everyone.

All of the musical projects that I am involved with are near and dear to my heart and allow me in a small way to make a contribution to the world of music.

The Bassbone is just what I have been looking for... I can maintain the integrity of two instruments on stage or in the studio with control over the balance and keep my high standards for my low notes!

I practice yoga on a regular basis at my gym and when I travel. Yoga not only keeps me flexible, but I feel it enhance the quality of my blood cells through deep breathing. I also feel energized when I practice yoga, which helps me cope with my demanding schedule.

In rock 'n' roll, as we all know, the image is that it's one big party. But many times the reality is that it's the furthest thing from the party. There's the alcoholism and drug abuse that come because you're looking for that elusive 'thing,' and you don't know what it is or where it is. But you've got the money and the connections, and the choices are not always the healthiest.

For the obvious reasons, furthering my children's education and keeping my family healthy and thriving is my highest mission.

I'll be forever grateful to this instrument for being the surfboard that I rode the wave of life on
