 Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind is not to try too hard. |
| We spent a lot of time on that record with the sound and recorded it on the Paramount sound stage which is this huge room where the sound is reflected but the reflection is so late and comes from so far away that it doesn't blur the music but gives you a room nonetheless. |
| I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library. |
| We had a day off here yesterday and I just sat in my room and played. |
| It was almost two years after I left Capital that I put out the first one on Chrysalis and that was really instructive because it was no better in particular than any other record I'd done. |
| The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it. |
| Yeah I do and I don't mind, in fact that is one of the real encouraging things about this whole career of mine is that there are tunes I wrote almost thirty years ago that I will still play in front of an audience and I still like the old tunes. |
| I will literally open my mouth not knowing what is coming out. |
| It depends on the time of the year and who I've been talking to, I try to put people in the studio I like. |
| I think that open tunings are a trap really because it's really hard not to sound like an open tuning when your using one and that gets old as well as what you learn in one open tuning is going to stay there. |
| 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. |
| I have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist. |
