People Are Usually Afraid To Say What's

I Have A Critical Nature, In The Sense That When I Look At Something I Often Look For The Flaws.

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.

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've Never Been Comfortable As A Lead Performer, And I Never Wanted To Be A Singer, Particularly.

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.
