I think by the time I finished college I was calling myself a professional because I was, you know. I was making a living playing music.

I've composed all my life and kept things, and even developed things I've done in college into something now.

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

In America there are some places that are just gorgeous to play.

I married my Japanese wife Mayumi who I'm so happy with, she's been so supportive. I live part time in Japan at her house, so I've been always very influenced by Japan. Since I guess the 70's or so. I've come to appreciate so much of their culture.
