As A Musician I'm Kind Of Nomadic,

I Think Anybody Who Goes Away Finds You Appreciate Home More When You Return.

I've Been Traveling All Over The World For 25 Years, Performing, Talking To People, Studying Their Cultures And Musical Instruments, And I Always Come Away With More Questions In My Head Than Can Be Answered.

Music Is Powered By Ideas. If You Don't Have Clarity Of Ideas, You're Just Communicating Sheer Sound.

Our Cultural Strength Has Always Been Derived From Our Diversity Of Understanding And Experience.

I Think The Purpose Of A Piece Of Music Is Significant When It Actually Lives In Somebody Else. A Composer Puts Down A Code, And A Performer Can Activate The Code In Somebody Else. Once It Lives In Somebody Else, It Can Live In Others As Well.
