Listening Is The Key To Everything Good

One Very Fundamental Thing Has Not Changed And I Realized That It Will Never Change... Is That I Really Need To Go Home And Practice.

More And More As Time Has Gone On, I Realize That Playing Is Really More About Listening Than It Is About Playing.

I Think That The Melodic Piece Of The Puzzle In Music Is The Most Esoteric And Difficult To Quantify.

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.

My First Relationship To Any Kind Of Musical Situation Is As A Listener.
