I Have Always Thought Of

When The Audience Is Awful You Can Still Have A Great Night And People Will Walk Out Thinking They Had A Great Time Even Though There Was Loads Of Loudmouths And The Sound Was Terrible.

I Have Always Thought Of Myself As A Performer First And Way Down The Line As A Recording Artist.

You Can't Really Tell What The Audience Wants But You Can Tell What Will Keep Everybody's Attention In The Same Place.

I Think If You Are Writing An Instrumental You Are Dealing With More Of An Aesthetic In A Sense But A Lyric Is More Of A Putting Yourself On The Line And A Much More Expensive Exercise.

The Bulk Of My Set Is Instrumental And You Have To Give Yourself And The Audience Some Relief Because A Performance Is Not About Great Guitar Playing It's Really About Entertainment.
