In theory, I'd like to work in a group. But the group I'd like to work in, all the musicians in them are long since dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always saw being in a band a full time job.
I just want to work with the big people and the people who make great music.
My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
A lot of the people I'd love to work with, like John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, aren't alive, unfortunately.
Most of the groups I worked with 30 years ago are either dead or dead broke. And it's a shame.
Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.
I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music.
That process by which you become a writer is a pretty lonely one. We don't have a group apprenticeship like a violinist might training for an orchestra.
You can work on music a few lifetimes.
I write music. I'm in a band.
