I Don't Play The Tuba.

If You Go To Japan, They're Still Buying Vinyl, And They Want The Education. They Know Who's Playing On What Tracks From The '60s And The '70s - Who The Guitar Player Is, Who The Drummer Is, Who The Producer Was, What Studio It Was Recorded In. That's How I Grew Up Listening To Music. We Bought Albums. We Read The Liner Notes. It Was Important To Know The Whole History Behind It.

I Always Try To Keep The Circumstances In My Life Fresh. I Like To Change The Physical Environment I Live In, Change The People Around Me And Try To Experience Things For The First Time. I Think That Keeps One On Their Toes, Creatively And Spiritually.

Confusion Makes People Uncomfortable. They Can't Put Their Finger On Me.

My Mother Always Told Me To Embrace Both Sides Of My Background. And She Also Taught Me One Very Useful Thing When I Was Going To First Grade. She Said, "you're Bahamian And African-american On One Side, And Russian-jewish On The Other. You're No More One Than The Other, And It's Beautiful That You Have All This. It Makes Your Life All The More Rich. But Society Will See You Only As Black."

Every Night Is Different, You Never Know What It's Going To Be Like. I Remember Every Night. I Don't Like To Compare Them.
