I didn't get where I am today by being timid, young man.
music mean thinking
I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway.

The HotHouse was packed with a very enthusiastic audience, and it seemed to me that Roscoe was very inspired. It was great for me to play with him.
