I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.

DUST includes rarities, demos, unreleased songs and instrumentals, live recordings, and more.
