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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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