I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a pretty healthy perspective on what my past music was.
People need to put my music in a perspective where they use other established artists from the past, and almost all the names I see related to my music are great musicians.
People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.
There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.
I'm very inspired by past music.
I think one's history and past is important at a certain time in your life, especially as an artist, just to try to hone in on that.
To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
Had I not become entangled with music, I would have become an author much earlier.
I was able to endure and play a special part in music history. And I always managed to keep working, even if I wasn't a big solo artist.
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
