| Personal Statement: |
“After being in and around the music business for this long, all I want to do is entertain people. Call me lazy, but I've no aspirations of being a rock star anymore. I still write music for my own amusement, but I always have gotten a kick out of seeing how close I can duplicate a record. A lot of guitarists will learn the basic chord structure of a hit song, and then put their own solo in it. That just kills me. On the other hand, I've got no problem with taking a classic song, twisting it around, and making something completely different out of it. I just love that surprised look on people's faces when they figure out what you're playing, and then hit the dance floor.” |
