Don't Burn The Day Away...

I Find A Therapy In Playing Music, In Many Different Ways.

When I Was A Kid Growing Up In New York, I Was Pretty Unaware Of Racism. I Think When We're Young - Before We Lose Our Innocence - We're Sort Of Unaware Of The More Flawed Qualities Of Each Other.

I Found There's A Fairly Blatant Racism In America That's Already There, And I Don't Think I Noticed It When I Lived Here As A Kid. But When I Went Back To South Africa, And Then It's Sort Of Thrust In Your Face, And Then Came Back Here - I Just See It Everywhere.

The Melodies Are Always The Most Important Part To Me. I Am Pulled More To The Groove Than The Chord Progression. After You Find The Groove, You Find The Most Simple Chord Progressions And Then Sit Inside That Groove.

If At All God's Gaze Falls Upon Us All It's With A Mischievous Grin, Look At Him.
