I'm Never Trying To Preach To Anybody With My Music, But I'm Aware Of The Universal Nature Of The Human Experience And I Try To Reach Out And Connect With People In That Manner.

If I Can Get Out Of The Way, If I Can Be Pure Enough, If I Can Be Selfless Enough, And If I Can Be Generous And Loving And Caring Enough To Abandon What I Have In My Own Preconceived Silly Notions Of What I Think I Am - And Become Truly Who In Fact I Am, Which Is Really Just Another Child Of God - Then The Music Can Really Use Me.

The Moment You Start To Talk About Playing Music, You Destroy Music. It Cannot Be Talked About. It Can Only Be Played, Enjoyed And Listened To.

My Entire Life Is Dedicated To Music, And At My Age, That Makes A Lot Of Years! But All The Work And Dedication Is Only That I'm Able To Forget Myself And Let The Music Do The 'talking.'
