I do the same thing every night, but different.

There's many possibilities for anything.

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.

I have tons of tunes, maybe 30 tunes that I still think are great, and only because some jerk at a record company didn't think it was great, it's not out there.

In the liner notes, music is fine by itself. It doesn't need any explanation.

I don't really have that much control over where I play. I put out parameters and I accept what I can. If it's really low, or I had a bad experience at a place then I usually don't play there again.

Sometimes I feel like a one man crusade against the devaluation of music in America and culture in the arts.
