Music really is a way to reach out and hold on to each other in a healthy way.

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

That's how it happens, livin life by the drop.

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.

You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other - our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That's to help each other, not hurt each other.

The way people come into your life when you need them, it's wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It's like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.
