"When the audience is awful you can still have a great night and people will walk out thinking they had a great time even though there was loads of loudmouths and the sound was terrible."
Time
"You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place."
Attention
"The bulk of my set is instrumental and you have to give yourself and the audience some relief because a performance is not about great guitar playing it's really about entertainment."
Performance
"I have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist."
Thought
"It is not a mystical thing, however, it is obvious and practical and I think that what the performer does is to try to get to that point with every choice you make from the phrasing in a tune to the choice of tunes."
Choice
"I am evidence that you don't have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job."
Job
"I think if you are writing an instrumental you are dealing with more of an aesthetic in a sense but a lyric is more of a putting yourself on the line and a much more expensive exercise."
Exercise
"I'm not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot!"
Play
"It was a kind of paralysis you would get from tendonitis and I would last about five to ten minutes into the set and it would set in and I really couldn't play."
Play
"I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library."
