So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.
