I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.

Somebody's going to hear a song that will key in a nerve or something in their experience that represents their own vision. And the next person is going to see it completely different. So even what it means to me is probably irrelevant. It's totally irrelevant. What matters is what it means to each person listening to it.

Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

J.P. Donleavy - now he's one writer I am consistent with. He's written books that I can definitely connect with. He has amazing insights which other people missed out on. Even with his descriptions of Northern Ireland.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.
