Music is the driving force behind my life. Playing it takes you to a place that can't be reached any other way. Once you are there, nothing else matters except the next phrase, the passing change, the riff set-up behind the band or the foundation to build a great chorus or two. I've had the chance to play with some of the best in the world and they have had a chance to play with me...I guess we are even. The festivals, the concert halls, the bars and clubs all provide something unique that you always carry with you. Make every note count, make every phrase complete. You must believe in what you do to make it work.
