I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

I don't think I thought I was going to go into music, and I don't think it hit me until I was 13 or 14, and then I was gone. Just like that. At that point, there was nothing else that could keep my attention.

I actually spend very little time listening to any new music.

I grew up mostly with classical, big band, and a lot of Irish music - I really didn't start listening to rock and roll until I was maybe sixteen.

I turned popular music on the radio, and I never listened to it again after that, in about 1985. That's when I switched over to classical music, and I pretty much stayed with that since then.

After that I didn't listen to music as much because '70s music just wasn't... I remember all the songs, but it wasn't because I was into them, you know what I mean?

I've always listened to music, since I was really, really young.

But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.
