The Music We're Playing Now Is Based On My Heritage, Which Is Russian, Romanian And Hungarian.

You Don't Have To Live The Blues To Play The Blues.

My Youngest Son, Who Is Now The Drummer In My Band, Lives In Brooklyn. My Oldest Son Is About To Move Out To California, And My Daughters Are Both Out Of Town.

What I Try To Do Is Produce An Atmosphere Where Musicians Want To Invest In What They Do And Give To The Recording. I Hire Those Musicians Who I Know Will Play Something Creative And Interesting.

Why Do You Have To Retire At 65? Why Can't You Start At 70? You Know, Like Wine. Why Can't Music Be That Way? My New Band, We're Playing Stuff That's Never Been Done Before.
