You try to improvise in a compositional manner. You don't just do some stupid lick you've been practicing, scale form exercises or something.

Money and fame are very inconvenient and very problematic.

I'm very grateful to be where I'm at and be able to play. That's really the bottom line for me. Survival and being able to play.

I don't think I can play the game and sell myself.

I don't think I really started to seriously compose until around that time when I was 40.

People YouTube me and crap and then, they probably don't want to see me after seeing a friendly posted YouTube video, so I'm constantly having to take those down.

I always liked to make something creative.
