strong icons gigs
I really worked with icons in the music business, which really had a strong effect on me. It wasn't just pick-up gigs.
scare wish singers
I wish I could sing. I love singers, but I am way too shy. Scares the hell out of me.
years long people
I was playing violin for a long time, about 6 years. It takes a while. You need very patient people in your house when you have a violin.
love-life life-is-like life-is
My love life is like everyone else's - great, and then terrible.
i-love-you being-in-love looks
I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.
parent
I love both my parents dearly.
school play rivers
I had the fortunate experience to play with people from different schools of music. Sam Rivers is from the fundamentalist school of music.
guitar japan people
In most places that are rich in guitar culture, everyone uses their fingers, like in Spain or Africa. In Japan there are string instruments played that way. It is not until you get in the States that you find people using picks.
writing thinking people
I thought people cared about music in a deep way, so I was writing to that spirit in people and in myself. It was me, thinking I knew what was up. Youth, who else can change the world?
night gigs able
Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.
hands use kind
After a while I thought it didn't make any sense to use a pick. It's kind of like typing with one finger on each hand instead of using all your fingers.
play guitar reason
James Brown is the reason I play guitar.
moving inspiration good-luck
Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work.
aggravation doe way
I consider myself a serious musician. Doing a comedy show does not take away from that in any way.
