Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live.

From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.

Today's innovation is tomorrow's tradition.
