I practice every day and that kind of stuff to maintain my musicianship.

I've been buying instruments and musical gear for a long time.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent. Therefore I keep reaching for instruments I don't particularly know how to play, and then I become excited.

After I retired and came off the road, I gathered up all my musical instruments and suddenly, I wanted them all to be perfect.

There's nothing more exciting to me than using real instruments in the studio.

At last a dream come true. The Instrument of Instruments.

I've gone down several paths. I started school as an engineer, but underneath it all, I knew I wanted to use instruments, not build them.

I'm not likely to forget where I've been and what I've done and learned. I think it's just as important to play new instruments as to play new pieces. The old ones are getting scarcer and the new ones more and more wonderful.

I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again.
