I Don't Claim To Be A Musician,

I Don't Play Pyrotechnic Scales. I Play About Frustration, Patience, Anger. Music Is An Extension Of My Soul.

I Always Wanted A Guitar. I Always Wanted To Be A Cowboy Singer Because I Also Listened To Hank Williams, And He Would Always Sing These Neat Romantic Songs.

Music Is An Attitude. It's A Sensation To The Average Person, To The Human Being. And Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's Always Been My Theory.

My Uncle Gave Me A Trumpet, But I Loved The Louis Armstrong Sound And The Harry James Sound And I Played By Ear And I Played Always Soulful Or Very Direct From The Gut.

I Became Stereotyped.
