Duck, big brother! Here comes another day!
I remember times when the whole music scene was just flourishing.
If you listen to nature, all the sounds are done in a confident way. I'm trying to do that.
I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations.
What I try to impart to a musician is to really try to practice the instrument in a really sincere way. Learn as much about music as you possibly can. Learn composition. Study to try to create compositions of your own and put your own personal touch on your music.
I don't like to box myself in when I'm composing.
I've always been interested in shaping music in odd ways, with odd riffs and that's been probably something that I've continued on with my studies with improvisation as I'm working with people.
Love works miracles in stillness.
If you always have to be watching yourself and judging, I don't think you're as free.
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen. (page 49)
It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.
