I do the same thing every night, but different.

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

The first time I ever went to Chicago was with Zappa and I had a fantastic experiences with him and every other band I've played with. It's a great music town.

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.

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.

You don't know where you're going.

I feel qualified and competent to try anything that's thrown my way because I don't have to be a success. I can just try.
