I would practice while listening to records or learn from musicians who were better than I was.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a musician. It's what I do! I wouldn't be too good at anything else.
I would listen to Little Richard and Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, and I would listen to how they played their riffs, and after I taught myself that, I taught myself to play my own kind of stuff.
But I'd play on everything from pop records to a lot of the glam stuff to rock stuff to classical stuff. I used to get called to do all those things, it was great.
The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.
I loved music - listening and playing - but of course I could not imagine I would be a professional musician. It really happened step by step.
I'm making music the way I would have done before modern equipment and music recording.
I would enjoy venturing into music, as I do write songs and compose music! And, of course, dance, rhythm and performance are in my blood, so eventually I see myself doing something in that area, surely!
I would walk down the hall with my guitar and play for anyone that would listen. As a young kid I was really driven and I was going to make it happen no matter what.
I'm not a huge practicer, which is probably not a good thing because my band definitely needs to practice.
I would just listen to records and learn what I could, then just roll it over and over and over.
