Anyone Who Writes Knows That Ultimately The Majority Of Your Time Is Spent Alone In A Room With A Piano Or A Guitar, No Matter What The Project Is.

Musicians From The Beginning Of Time Have Been There To Express The Mood And The Musical Feelings In The Air For Whatever's Going On In That Particular Culture. It's The Greatest Joy As A Musician To Be Able To Translate That, Be Part Of Something And Watch The Scenery Around You.

There Are No Jerry Garcias Coming Down The Pike, Anymore Than There Is A Jimi Hendrix Or Bob Marley. They Are All At The Same Level - The Highest Level That You Strive To Get To As A Musician. Me And My Friends - We'll All Be Long Dead, People Will Still Be Trying To Dig Into What Jerry Garcia Did.
