I grew up singing Ray Charles and Jimmy Reed.

I've always loved New Orleans music. I always loved it when the Neville Brothers opened up for the Grateful Dead and the Dirty Dozen and all that.

I grew up on a dirt road with brothers.

Everyone's different, but it was fun for me to work with Garth Hudson. He's from 'The Band.' They are a massive influence, that was a big thrill. He's completely out of his mind.

I broke up the band in the office in Gerrard Street.

I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I.

In the early '70s, I started to feel like Philadelphia soul was the black-sheep brother of rock and roll. I decided to try to get away from it.

I grew up on Don Knotts and Jerry Lewis and all the guys from Second City.

There I met Gordon Jackson and Dave Meredith who were playing in local bands.
