I Gave Up A Lot Of Things

It Was Also Important For Me To Have A Burning Desire To Achieve Something Worthwhile On That Instrument, And I Devoted Many Many Many Hours With Little Or No Compensation To Perfecting Whatever I Could, Because I Loved It So Much.

I Didn't Follow The Standard Rules Of Bass Playing, And Many Musicians On Many Different Instruments Who Became Noteworthy For Their Unique Or Particular Style Did A Very Similar Thing.

I Listened To Many Different Types Of Instruments And Music, And Have Always Tried To Look At The Bass As An Instrument As Opposed To Only A Bass.

I Try To Do My Absolute Best For The People Who Come See Me Play.

I'm Very Honored And Thankful If Someone Says Something Nice About My Playing, But In General I'm Very Critical Of What I Do.
