What people think of me and my playing is up to them, not me.
We'll see some simplistic players for a while, who'll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music.
Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.
My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.
I think the future looks great for music, musicians, bass players, and all we love about music.
I love a lot of reggae, but I've never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys.
I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.
I didn't follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing.
History has repeated itself many times througout the ages.
And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.
I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.
I plan on doing a lot more work on my own, and discovering and doing more.
Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way, when people watch, they'll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better.
I've been an amature inventor for a long time.
If I had to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing.
