 History has repeated itself many times througout the ages. |
| If I had to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. |
| I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play. |
| I've been an amature inventor for a long time. |
| Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable. |
| And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part. |
| 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. |
| I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass. |
| It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much. |
| I believe the best persona to be onstage is the one that comes naturally. |
| What people think of me and my playing is up to them, not me. |
| 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 gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success. |
| My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me. |
| I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music. |
| It is never easy for anyone to have success in music. |
| I love a lot of reggae, but I've never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys. |
| I think the future looks great for music, musicians, bass players, and all we love about music. |
