As soon as we played, I saw how much spirit she had. She has great chops, but what I always notice in a musician is a sense of spirit and life, a vitality to the way they play.

If I wanted to be a cameraman, which was my goal, he was the most perfect subject I could have. He was shy, but onstage he would change into this unbelievably charismatic musician.

There were so many musicians but no one knew anyone else. They all played in Manhattan, but they had no idea that another talented musician lived down the street.

If I was just focused on my performing, I might have been an even more successful musician. But I always felt the need to help others, particularly young people, to become actively engaged with music rather than passively entertained.

This is our culture, and I don't care who the musician is, if he avoids black people, then he is scared of something. He doesn't have confidence in himself or else he doesn't believe in what he's doing.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

One of the things that I really find kind of irritating is the local musician who takes himself very, very, very seriously. Quite frankly, we're regular guys. We've all got pretty much blue collar jobs, we love music and we definitely love playing with each other. This band has been a vehicle for a tremendous amount of fun over the past few years. If fame and fortune were to come our way, we would embrace that, but from day one, none of us would have been involved if it wasn't fun, and that's always been a prime motivation for having a good time. We can't help but conveying that in the music that we produce.

In his usual perverse way, because he is so good at it, he thinks little of acting. Because he has an absolute gift for it, he regards it as no accomplishment at all and prefers to think of himself as musician or something. It is a pity.

I grew up loving a lot of English bands,.. That has a huge effect on you. If I was listening to hip-hop as opposed to Morrissey when I was 13, I would probably be a very different musician. But that's what I was drawn to when I was growing up.

He's one of the most requested motivational speakers on the circuit. He's unique. He's an athlete, a musician, a writer, and he is a master storyteller. He can work a crowd. Most (speakers) bring a canned program. He does it all, and he can tailor his message to the crowd. He's one of the best out there.

As a musician, I have a deep respect and appreciation for the gift of hearing and the beauty that it brings to life,.. Having been on an international hearing mission trip with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, my respect and appreciation is equally great for the work it is doing to open the ears of the world's children. Through its many good works, the Starkey Hearing Foundation is not just giving the gift of hearing to those in need but the gift of life.

Yeah, I figured that out myself. From listening. I would have learned a lot quicker if I had someone to show me that shit. But I don't think you can be taught to be creative. It's like a computer. The computer will give you what you put in it, you know, or make an equation or something. I shouldn't talk about computers, I don't know anything about them. But you don't get out of it more than you put in. Basically that's what I'm trying to say. I think you can get pointers, but I don't think you can learn to be a complete musician. That has to come from within. And it entails a lot of sacrifice.

I stumbled on this little scene. And little by little, that scene took over my life,.. You could make a living being a blues musician. There were a lot of clubs where you could play this type of music every night. And a lot of roots rock clubs, and bands like the Holmes Brothers, Chris Whitley and Blues Traveler playing opposite sides of the street corner. And a lot of camaraderie. Nobody was thinking of record deals, so there wasn't any feeling of competition.

Those were the terms under which a musician was successful. And he could see that I was not there, nor was I anywhere approximating that.

Our whole dynamic is kind of based around that push and pull. Marco is a very skilled jazz musician and I'm rock oriented. When we first started out, that's the way it was, he was very jazz, and I was very rock, and I think that's what has made the sound and the album special. But we've evolved to retain both of those features within ourselves as a result of playing together.

As I look back over my life, before I had any real identity, I was a traveler. I grew up an Army brat, a runaway, an activist, and a musician. All my life I've been traveling.

Musicians today have gotten used to Protools, which I hate. You can go into the studio and not even be a musician, just start beating on stuff and they can take parts out of it, move it around and then you can sound like Slash. If you want some kind of weird feedback effect in the middle of a guitar solo, now they can just fly it in. You don't have to sit there and work at it like you did back in the day.
