I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure what a pop tune is. I'm sure if I hear it on the radio, I'd say that's pop or this or that. But, really, what I pay attention to the most is just music that moves me. It's all at least a root-type music instead of a formula.

What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?

I mainly use Stratocasters. I like a lot of different kinds of guitars, but for what I do, it seems that a Stratocaster is the most versatile. I can pretty much get any sound out of it, and I use stock pickups.

The way I play, I go through a set in a year. So I put '58 Gibson Jumbo Bass frets on all my necks.

I actually wanted to be a drummer, but I didn't have any drums.

I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!
