"I play very free. I use my ear and I just play what I want to play. Music can get involved where energy takes you to different places. If I don't go there, I don't really feel like I have given the people enough."

"I grew up listening to this music. I knew when I first heard it as a small boy that I had to play it. It's never left me. I think that that has to happen to you. You have to love it. It's an undying love. It's not based on money. It's just based on doing it as good as you can do it."
