"I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't fun. It's just a whole different thing these days."

Fun

"My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument."

Father

"I care about being able to play. If you're playing with integrity in the music, then that's what matters. But it wasn't that great for me because it was kinda like going back into the old times without the guy."

Music

Encouragement

"Well, to tell you the straight honest truth, it was like a Grateful Dead cover band. I didn't feel - and nothing against the guys - I didn't feel that they were opening up like they should. I'll tell you what, with guitar players, Steven has what I like in guitar players."

Thought

"When Garcia died, and I decided not to play, I came out here."

Play

"I'm really thankful and complimented when people come to me and say, thank you for the great times for all these years. But I don't think about it as being a leader."

Leader

"Oh yeah, it's great see music and to play music in small places. And it's really fun for me to play here because, you know, I played two feet from people all night. And after all those years, it's great to be able to talk to folks."

Music

"I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there."
