That was the biggest thrill, going over to these guy's houses and having them want me to practice with them and they would show me a lot of stuff, which was really advanced stuff to me at my age.

They always want to sell me as a hard bopper.

Just have fun, and just play hard, and just practice a lot.

My old man taught me a lot of stuff in his death that I don't even know if he would have been able to teach me had he been alive. And that was to never do stuff that can jeopardize the people you love and hurt them.

I do a lot of serious stuff, but I'm not a very serious guy.

There's nothing I can really do but keep going out there and swinging.
