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.

When I was a kid, I liked the newer music that was coming out. I have never really felt confined by any style of music. I would play in bands that were soul bands or that played standards - any kind of music that I enjoyed playing.

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

I don't like looking back.

We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals

I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching
