Now Why The Hell Would I Want

What Do You Do With What You're Given, And How Do You Transform It Into Something Worthwhile?

We Don't Think Of Ourselves As Being Perfectionists, Really. To Us It's More About Desperately Trying To Have It Sound More Or Less Ok.

I Tried To Grow Up. Honest. Didn’t Quite Happen. I Guess I’m Someone For Whom Youth Still Seems More Real Than The Present, Or The Half Century In Between. And Why Not? I'm Deeply Underwhelmed By Most Contemporary Art, Literature, Music, Films, Tv, The Heinous Little Phones, Money Talk, Real Estate Talk, All That Stuff. The Internet, Which At First Seemed So Fascinating, Appears To Be Evolving Into Something Even Worse Than Tv, But We'll See.

I Like It When Songs Develop In Some Way. Four Minutes Usually Isn't Enough Time For Something To Develop Musically.

I Took Some Lessons As A Kid But Trained Myself By Ear. I Did It The Way Jazz Musicians Used To Learn Years Ago, Which Is To Play Records And Slow Them Down To Figure Out The Notes. At First I Tried To Imitate Red Garland, Who Was My Favorite Jazz Pianist.
