I Have Always Thought Of Myself As

The Bulk Of My Set Is Instrumental And You Have To Give Yourself And The Audience Some Relief Because A Performance Is Not About Great Guitar Playing It's Really About Entertainment.

I Have Always Thought Of Myself As A Performer First And Way Down The Line As A Recording Artist.

It Is Not A Mystical Thing, However, It Is Obvious And Practical And I Think That What The Performer Does Is To Try To Get To That Point With Every Choice You Make From The Phrasing In A Tune To The Choice Of Tunes.

I Was Taking A Nose Dive Somewhere Between Eleven And Twelve Because My Sister Had Died And I Was Practicing Something That Siblings Do Which Is Follow In Their Footsteps And Die As Well.

Musically, I Am Still Hooked And Just Hypnotized By The Sound Of The Guitar Itself. I Mean, A Guitar Sounds Good If You Drop It On The Floor.
