I'm not a big jazz fan.

Dylan can do no wrong.

So I guess I had, I think they tell me I had, about three years total of piano lessons, off and on.

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.

My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums.

I have no guitar technique.

The primary one being, like I said, I don't like rock 'n' roll piano.

It took me 10 years to realize that I don't know 'em, 10 years to realize that it's possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things.

Well, first of all, let me say that I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn't pay off.

I'll sleep when I'm dead.

I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly.

I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.

Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage.

I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid.

Duncan Aldrich has been my partner in most recording projects, and touring projects, for the past decade.
