Hearing Myself So Much All The Time,

I Appreciate Men Like Ben Webster And Coleman Hawkins Very Much.

Life Is Too Full Of Distractions Nowadays. When I Was A Kid We Had A Little Emerson Radio And That Was It. We Were More Dedicated. We Didn't Have A Choice.

I Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.
