I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

Publishing the lyric books, poetry or comics of other musicians I know. That's the thing I really want to break into!

Nothing makes you feel more naked than someone identifying a desire you never knew you possessed.

I've never really had the desire to be a front person or a solo artist. I don't really create that much of a hierarchy in my mind.

I also remember the second band I was in ever. We were called Hybrid. We got a show at this local street fair, and we were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. There was an ad in the paper, and it said that 'Hybird' is playing. I was so mad.

The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it. That same philosophy can extend to the instrument you hold in your hands: if a guitar means something special, you're bound to do great things with it.
