Creativity Is The Antidote To

Music Has Always Been My Protection Against The World, From A Very Young Age. I Feel Safe Inside Of A Jam.

I've Learned That In The Theater The Story Is Everything. Every Lyric, Every Line And Every Musical Gesture Has To Propel The Journey Of A Given Character Or The Overall Plot.

Music Is A Spiritual Expression Of What's In Your Heart. Music As A Way Of Getting Rich Is A Pretty New Thing, And I Often Wonder If The Mega-bucks Glitzy Atmosphere Is Making The Quality Of Music Suffer. You Have To Work Really Hard To Get Around That And Remember Why You're In It In The First Place: Because You Have To Be. It's Like An Addiction. You Can't Go A Day Without Picking Up Your Guitar. To Me, The Only Commercial Goals That Are Really Valid Are, 'boy, I Wish I Didn't Have To Go To Work. I Wish I Could Do This All The Time.'

Jerry Garcia Was A Great American Master And The Grateful Dead Are Not Just A Genuine Piece Of Musical History, But Also An Important Part Of American History.

I Understand That Transposing A Song A Half Step Can Effect The Believability Of A Lyric.
