I guess fortunate that I'm still around and I emphasize I guess because you never can tell what musicians would be playing had they been around as long as I have.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Who told you I was a musician?
I'm playin' music for a certain type of person. Fortunately, there are more and more of us. At least there are more comin' to see me than there were 30 years ago or so.
I would hate to think that some people have found themselves in a musical cul-de-sac and have ceased to explore new music, or at least music that is new to them, because they are so glued to the past.
In the years between 2000 and 2004, I always got the feeling that people were just starting to hear about me, and they were all late to the game. I'd be out playing shows for records that I recorded back in 1999 that were just coming out.
I play music the way it was played in yesteryear.
I've always been around musicians and always been the songwriter who doesn't end up playing the music.
The only thing I have ever really cared to be known as is a musician.
Had I not become entangled with music, I would have become an author much earlier.
It was clear from the beginning that I was going to be a musician.
I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.
