I'm a player and I do it because I love playing whether it's for my album or someone else's.

We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.

From my time in 'King Crimson,' I'd describe a Progressive band as one that keeps trying to break musical barriers, and keeps trying to do new music.

Yes, alas, I've been on some recording sessions where the music wasn't good. Not so many, really, considering how many I've done. It's a very awkward situation because to do a recording well you focus on the positive of what will make the piece better.

For me, if the music is good, whether the artist is famous or unknown, I love being part of the music and contributing what I can to the bass end.

John was great to work with, and a lot of fun. I wish Id had the chance to make more music with him, of course, and to get to know him better.
