I'm A Fan Of Many Different Styles

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.

Be Honest With Yourself And The Way You Act When You Hear Music. That Way, When People Watch, They'll See Something From Your Heart And Soul, And As A Result Will Communicate Your Feeling And Thought Much Better.

Very Often I Suspend My Musical Sensibilities To Enjoy Music As A Fan.

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.

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.
