It's Hard For Me To Just Practice

I Prefer To Think Of Myself As A Musician Who Is Still Learning And Trying To Do Something Every Time Out.

I Can't Remember The First Song I Learned To Play On Bass, But The First Song I Learned To Play On Guitar Was 'for Your Love' By The Yardbirds. That Kind Of Was The Beginning For Me. I Thought It Was A Great Song And I Loved The Open Chord Progression At The Beginning Of That Song.

There Was A Time When Fast Playing And Fretboard Pyrotechnics On The Bass Were Important To Me And When I Am Recording A Bass Track, That Is Still Very Important To Me.

That Is What Intrigues Me; Songwriting And Song Structure And Expression.

Then, Once I Have Lyrics, Being Able To Shape Them Around A Song Is Nothing New For Me, I've Been Doing That For 25 Years. The Soul Searching Part Of It, The Spontaneous Part Of It, That Was, And Remains, A Really Terrific Process.
