Whenever Elvin Jones comes to Seattle I try to go catch him.

If PJ Harvey ever came to town I'd definitely go try to go see her.

I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.

I show up ready to play, so I normally try and fit the situation.

For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.
