There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them

I love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds.

I never did heroin, because I thought that meant I was doing heavy drugs, which shows you the insanity of doing drugs. I probably should have done heroin, because I understand heroin actually makes you feel good. Cocaine just makes you stupid.

If music became extinct now, I dont know what Id be good for.

On acoustic guitar I tend to stay in the key of D for some reason. On electric guitar I keep basic: C, G, D, and A. The key of D minor is also real good for me.

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member

I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.
