It Is Still A Surprise When People

I Just Play The Music That I Love With Musicians That I Respect, And Fortunately, I'm In A Position Where People Are Willing To Play With Me, And Perhaps I Can Do Something To Help Them.

I Can't Make You Love Me If You Don't, You Can't Make Your Heart Feel Something It Won't.

Jazz And Blues Fests Are Everywhere Now, And Americana Is Going Strong On College Radio. What I'm Hearing Is An Appreciation Of Real Music.

Im Happy To Say That At 62, I Think Ive Reached That Point Where Stuff Doesnt Bother Me As Much, And My Gratitude Level Has Gone Way Up, Especially Having Gone Through The Loss That Ive Had, And Losing So Many Of The Great Artists That I Was Close To. They Taught Me How To See It With A Grain Of Salt And A Lot Of Humor And Perspective.

Those Of Us Who Grew Up In The '50s And '60s, We Had The Dream That This Could Be Turned Around, And The Earth Could Be Back In Balance, And That We Could Level The Playing Field With Men And Women And Pay, And You Know, Minority Groups Having Equal Opportunity. We Just Magically Thought This Was All Going To Happen: We Were Going To Have Clean Food, And Organic This, And Conscious That, And It Just Didn't Happen.
