It was a kind of paralysis you would get from tendonitis and I would last about five to ten minutes into the set and it would set in and I really couldn't play.
It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!
I must have been heavily schizophrenic all my life. The me who hears what the other me can't play is the dominant one.
I wanted to be able to play guitar. I wanted to be able to make music hurt.

I'd say that my profession ends where architectural thinking ends - architectural thinking in terms of thinking about programs and organizational structure. These abstractions play a role in many other disciplines, and those disciplines are now defining their 'architectures' as well.
After playing now for 60 years, it's still very challenging for me to play a simple melody and have it clean and touch the reed at the proper time in the proper way.
As long as there are people trying to play music in a sincere way, there will be some jazz.
I have been able to get a small audience. It's not the huge audience, but it's enough to make it possible to play. I appreciate that.
Labels don't mean anything to me. I'm trying to play as passionately as I'm able to. If they want to call that cool, that's fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.
I'd like to feel that whatever I play is a result of whatever I've heard.
Whatever the reason is, I hope we can finish talking about the Olympics. It's gone, it's behind us. The schedule wasn't proper for players who went there and there is some fatigue in a lot guys' play right now.
