There's a bootleg album that was recorded when I was 14 or 15, a compilation of things live at different clubs. Songs like Girl from Ipanema and Cry Me A River. I don't know what the title of it is.

As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music.

I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it.

We started out when I was 6 years old. We played ukuleles and sang Everly Brothers songs.

When you record for a label, they own that material in perpetuity, meaning that they can release, chose not to release , or repackage it any way they so choose... with or without the permission of the artist.

I started out playing ukulele when I was 5 or 6 years old.

But when I played Woodstock, I'll never forget that moment looking out over the hundreds of thousands of people, the sea of humanity, seeing all those people united in such a unique way. It just touched me in a way that I'll never forget.

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, and certainly 'Frankenstein' had a very dramatic power rock image. It was almost a precursor of heavy metal and fusion. But I also love jazz and classical and if there's one common thread that runs through all my music, it is blues.

I love music more just in and of itself. I love harmony and rhythm.

So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.
