The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time. ↗

For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People's ears are really open, they are not closed. A lot of scenes here, people just get tunnel vision and are into one thing. ↗

Great musicians accept everything that they hear and find something good. They take what they like and they throw away what they don't like. ↗

I've dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you're both musicians. ↗

I feel like I'm waving the flag for musicianship, trying to bring back bands that can play. ↗

The magic of playing has to do with how much everyone wants it to succeed. If you have five players in a situation where the music is being improvised and one is determined it is not going to succeed, it won't succeed even if one of the musicians takes control. ↗

The wise musicians are those who play what they can master. ↗

I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work. ↗
