If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.

I saw it as a challenge to play with Pat and we put hours and hours into it, usually on the bus. The trick was to find something that we both wanted to play within our different styles which would add up to being greater than the sum of its parts.

If it's fast, no I don't have enough piano technique. In that case, it's probably been done on some kind of synthesizer or sequencer. Then the score can then be printed out and so forth.

We all lived in the same house, or most of us did. And as far as I can make out we were confined to the property, because at twenty-four hours' notice we'd have to do a gig somewhere. So you couldn't leave the building for more than twelve hours in case a gig came through.

This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.
