When I first started I didn't know a lot about the job, so I kinda had to figure it out by wire, ya know? It was hit and miss, I made mistakes, and fortunately I was able to recover from most of 'em.

I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.

The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
Billy Joel

The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
