I Was Taking A Nose Dive Somewhere

It's True That The More You Put In The More You Get Out And That Has To Be There I Think, If You Aren't Really Hooked On Your Instrument This Job Would Be A Hell On Earth But If You Are, It's The Best.

The Bulk Of My Set Is Instrumental And You Have To Give Yourself And The Audience Some Relief Because A Performance Is Not About Great Guitar Playing It's Really About Entertainment.

I Think If You Are Writing An Instrumental You Are Dealing With More Of An Aesthetic In A Sense But A Lyric Is More Of A Putting Yourself On The Line And A Much More Expensive Exercise.

You Can't Really Tell What The Audience Wants But You Can Tell What Will Keep Everybody's Attention In The Same Place.

It Is Not A Mystical Thing, However, It Is Obvious And Practical And I Think That What The Performer Does Is To Try To Get To That Point With Every Choice You Make From The Phrasing In A Tune To The Choice Of Tunes.
