Lawrence Of Arabia, British Beatlemania.

Most People You'd Tell "i'm Gonna Be A Musician," They'd Say, "you're Crazy, You're Gonna Starve, You're Gonna Be Poor, A Drug Addict, Go To Jail, You'll Never Make It, There's Too Much Competition, It's A Terrible Business," Etc. But My Chorus Teacher In High School Said, "you've Got What It Takes To Be A Really Good Professional Musician, You Should Consider It." That Was An Epiphany For Me. So I Thought, Well, Maybe I Can Help Somebody, Too.

Usually When I'm Writing, I Try To Write Fairly Quickly. If A Song Sits Around Too Long, It Starts To Take On A Stink. Most Of My Songs Are Written In One Sitting, Two Sittings Maybe. Those Are The Ones I Like The Best, Anyway.

I Never Stopped Writing Music, I Just Stopped Writing Songs. I've Been Writing Music Continually Ever Since The Last Album Of Original Tunes, "river Of Dreams" In '93.

Dream On, But Don't Imagine They'll All Come True. When Will You Realize... Vienna Waits For You.

If You Tell Kids They Can't Have Something, That's What They Want.
