With the help of modern technology, I can compose intricate keyboard parts and then I have to go back and learn them in order to perform them properly.
I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
When I drank, I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.
